'curious here: What events have you beaten your HS best times in? Were these your focus events in HS? ...and how many years did you go without competing?
I have beaten my best HS time in Masters in these events: 200 free, 500 free, 200 IM, 100 fly, 100 back. At my final high school meet, tapered and shaved, I swam the 200 free and 100 back and led off the 400 free relay. I surprised my coach by choosing the 100 back instead of the 100 fly. It's not a high school event, but I've also handily beaten my high-school-era time in the 200 back.
I have NOT beaten my best HS time in Masters in these events: 50 free and 100 free. I've gotten pretty close in the 100 free. If I ever swim the 100 free tapered and shaved in Masters, I should beat my HS time easily.
Although it is a high school event, I don't recall ever swimming the 100 *** in high school, so I haven't listed it in either category. I didn't swim the 200 fly, 400 IM, 1000 free, or 1650 free until college. And I didn't swim the 200 *** until Masters :)
