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:
But where do they still swim the 1000? Not in high school, I don't think. Is it even still a college event, or has it been supplanted by the 1650?
The 1000 is in the usual college dual meet order of events. It's the first event after the medley relay. The 1650 is swum less often, but always at the championship meets (and the 1000 is NOT swum at championships). At least that's how it's done in Division I. Not positive about the others.
