Will Freeman Breaks National Independent High School Record -- February 15, 2009
ATLANTA, Georgia, February 15. WILL Freeman, a junior at Greater Atlanta Christian, shot down the national independent high school record in the 500-yard freestyle at the Georgia State 1-4A Championships yesterday.
Freeman checked in with a swift time of 4:19.32. That performance wiped out the 4:19.54 set by Fran Crippen of Germantown Academy back in 2002. The oldest high school record on the books still stands as the overall standard as Jeff Kostoff of Upland High in Calif., charted a 4:16.39 in the 500-yard free on May 14, 1983.

It was an awesome sight to see!! The crowd was on their feet for the last 100 of his race....we knew he was having an amazing swim. I'm so proud of this young man. He swims for the high school that I coach but....I can't take credit for coaching him. He swims for Swimatlanta under Chris Davis. I just get to watch and encourage him when he comes to our high school meets. He is a very nice and humble young man. :applaud:

He doesn't know yet on the school. He's a JR.
Oh, yikes. I didn't see the "11" there.
