Ande Rasmussen!
100 SCM IM in 1:00.14 out in 27.0, mens 45 - 49
World Record WAS 1:00.29!
Amazing! And he wasn't even fully tapered. I hope there is video!
Ok - where are the results from San Antonio and Arizona ? When can we expect trash talking and "that-a-boy"s
Rich - what relay records did you guys destroy and please don't make us look through every 800 split to find a lead-off record :)

Congrats to all the great swims !!!
Nice warm-up to the big December meet weekend - now I also know what relay records not to try :) (thanks Colorado) ....
And I thought he only set one world record. Check out Ande's 100m Free world record. That is super fast. That must be a personal masters best by about 2 seconds! Way to go Ande.
And in San Antonio, Texas, at the PAC Masters meet, Ande Rasmussen set two individual world records for the 45-49 age group. His first came in the 100 IM with a 1:00.14. The former record was 1:00.29. Later, he swam a 51.45 as a split in the 200 freestyle race to break the world record in the 100 freestyle, which was 52.54.
Rasmussen was also a part of three world record-setting relays in the 200-239 age group, as part of Longhorn Masters.
Michael Mann continued to rewrite the record book. Is there record for how many world records broken in a single year by one person?
Michael Mann (men's 55-59 age group)
200 free, 1:59.08 (2:03.56)
400 free, 4:16.03 (4:24.92)
800 free, 8:51.34 (9:03.00)
200 IM, 2:16.44 (2:21.05)
400 IM, 4:51.97 (5:08.15)
This ought to get KPN back on the forums...
Pretty sure she has racked up more World Records in a meet than anyone I have seen.
I don't think this is correct. I looked at Ande's blog and he swam the 400 free relay, but didn't lead off and didn't swim that time, unless I missed something!
I got that quote from Lane 9 News, but I see the article must have been edited because it is missing now. I also went to check in Ande's blog and I see he went for a 50 split in the 200.
