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?

I should also point out that Misty Hyman was more than a one trick pony. Her defeat of O'Neill at Sydney in 2000 proved she was a pretty capable swimmer on the surface, too.
