Dagny Knutson At It Again, Crushes National High School Record in 200 IM, Lowers 100 Free -- November 13, 2009
GRAND FORKS, North Dakota, November 13. REIGNING Swimming World Female High School Swimmer of the Year Dagny Knutson is looking for a repeat. During prelims of the North Dakota State Championships, Knutson crushed the national high school record in the 200-yard IM, while also setting the 100-yard free high school mark.
Knutson checked in with a 1:53.82 during prelims today while swimming for Minot High. That performance smashed the overall and public school record of 1:56.45 set by two-time Swimming World High School Swimmer of the Year Mary Beck back in 2008. Notably, the time also surpassed the independent school record of 1:57.41 set by Kathleen Hersey also in 2008.
The effort also cut five seconds from Knutson's state record of 1:58.58 set in 2007, and put Knutson within striking range of the American record held by Julia Smit with a 1:52.79 at last year's NCAAs.
