Michael Andrew turned in his third and fourth record-breaking performances of the 2015 USA Swimming Winter Junior Nationals West with a sizzler in the men’s 100-yard fly. He also downed the 100 breast record as well.

A day after twice lowering the men’s 200-yard IM 15-16 U.S. National Age Group record in prelims with a 1:43.94 then in finals with a 1:42.77, Andrew downed his own 15-16 mark in the 100-yard fly.

This morning, Andrew clipped his previous record of 46.36 with a 46.34 in prelims.  That swim also downed the meet record of 46.42 set by Ryan Hoffer of Scottsdale last year.  Hoffer qualified second behind Andrew today with a 46.44 and should give him a run in the finale.

Andrew split the race 21.41, 46.34 (24.93) this morning.

Andrew originally took the 15-16 NAG from Hoffer in September with a 46.36.

He split that race 21.63, 46.36 (24.73), while Hoffer’s previous meet record of 46.42 had been the NAG before this September. He split that race 21.70, 46.42 (24.72).

Vissering won the 100 breast with a ridiculously fast 52.83 at the 2014 NCSA Junior Nationals, a new 15-16 NAG and the title of being the first swimmer in his age group to break the 53 second mark in the event. The NAG was previously held by Andrew Seliskar at a 53.26, set at last year’s NCSA Junior National Championships.

Extremely impressive!! He will be pushed in the fly/lback and there will be some great races tonight! I hope Andrew swims all three– if Katie Drabot can do the 500/2IM/50, then he should be able to pull it off. Though if he drops one I hope it’s the breast since that race won’t be as close. Congrats to Michael Andrew!
