These times are amazing:
Kyle van Niekerk - 13 year old!
His results were as follows:
100m Free: Gold in a winning time of 53.89 – New African and South African AG Record
50m Free: Gold in a winning time of 24.69 – a New African and South African AG Record and the fastest recorded time in the world for 13- year- olds during 2011.
Yes these are long course meters. Puts it all in perspective for us geezers :cane:
Ande, do guys at this level taper for their conference championships or NCAAs or both? Do most of the top swimmers do better at NCAAs, or are intraconference rivalries so strong that they try to peak for their conference championships?
