it's interesting to see the names & times
Jesse Vassallo's 15:31 1500 M free in 1976 as a 14 year old is super impressive swim & has stood the test of time even against talented swimmers in tech suits.
Ian Crocker's 1:53.87 200 fr got beat last year, Cannon Clifton almost got it but went out too hard & died. think he split it 25 27 29 31
in 1984, Chas Morton from Nashville was a super impressive 12 year old
he still holds the 11 - 12 SCY records for the:
100 fly 51.85, next time in 53.47 &
200 IM 1:56.61 closest is 1:59.74
good to see Mary Meagher still has the 13 - 14 200 fly records
1 2:07.01 1979 US UN
2 2:10.03 Lauren Torpey 1997 LE LESD
3 2:11.04 Whitney Phelps 1994 US UN

2 2:07.14 Mary Meagher 1982 US UN
looks like tracey caulkins still has some top 10's
Wow- this is great. Thanks for the link, Ande.
Bobby Hackett's 8:01.54 800 free LC WR from 1976 when he was 16 should have made the list. And a piece of cool trivia about this record- at the Olympic trials while qualifying for the 1500!
Still number one from the 70's- as a 14 yr old, Jesse Vassallo's 15:31 1500
12 yr old boys swimming 22's for a 50 free- wow!
Missy Franklin- 48 for a 100 free at 13?!... does she have a contract with Speedo, yet?
