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:
The high school order of events is pretty standard and the 500 free is the longest race. I've never heard of any high school meet deviating from the standard order of events and the order is the same for dual meets and championship meets. You are correct that it used to be the 400. I'm not sure what year the changeover occurred.
