A group of 10 & unders from the Santa Clara Swim Club in California has broken their own National Age Group Record in the mixed 200 yard medley and freestyle relays.
The group of Luka Mijatovic, Mia Su, Isabel Wu, and Shareef Elaydi combined to break both records last weekend at the Brian Malick Zone 1 South Championships.
The same group already owned the 200 mixed medley relay record via a 2:01.76 that was set in December. This weekend, they improved that to a 2:01.64.
The relay’s butterflier, Isabel Wu, made the biggest cut into the record-setting line, dropping half-a-second from her split in December.
Comparative Splits:
| Old Record | New Record* | ||
| Mijatovic | Back | 29.71 | 29.7 |
| Su | Breast | 34.7 | 34.6 |
| Wu | Fly | 29.89 | 29.4 |
| Elaydi | Free | 27.46 | 27.8 |
| Total Time | 1:01.76 | 2:01.64 |
*The meet did not use touch pads, so the splits for the new relay are based on the coach’s watch.
