David Guthrie stopped by the Texas Senior Circuit meet on the campus of Texas A&M University last weekend, and the 55-year-old impressed the crowd with another Masters world record in the long course 100 breaststroke.

Guthrie got under his week-old record of 1:09.37 in the 55-59 age group with a 1:08.44 in prelims. In finals, he nearly cracked 1:08 with a 1:08.10 for 10th place overall. Clay Cooke, just 18 years old, barely beat Guthrie for the B final win with a 1:08.07.

Guthrie is working his way down to the 1:06.98 he posted at last summer’s U.S. Masters Swimming nationals to break the world record in the 50-54 age group. Showing that it is possible for some to stay fast as they age, last year’s swim is one of his fastest ever in Masters.

Not a masters competition, so according to FINA rules not a Masters Record, not US and not a World record either. Very fast time though, but it is much easier to swim thiese times with younger and faster ones than with Your age swimmers.
