I was looking over the high school records and noticed one glaring disparity. The oldest record on the books is the boys public 500 yard free, set in 1983 by Jeff Kostoff at 4:16.39. The next oldest boys record is in 1991. The oldest girls record is the 100 fly set in 1996 by Misty Hyman. Any ideas as to why that one has stood for so long?

There's been a lot of talk about the lack of emphasis on D swimming in HS and Jeff's record. What about explaining Misty's 1996 100 fly record.
Urban Myth or not? I swam against and (at times) with Jeff during our college years. No matter how you frame it, his animalism during workouts is all true. But is it myth or not that Jeff could barely do 10 pushups?
