This week featuring an abundance of fast swimming across the country as many collegiate teams headed to their winter invitationals, but one performance not to be overlooked in that shuffle came from high schooler Lindsey Horejsi. On the first day of the Minnesota Girls A State Championships, Horejsi broke the national independent high school record in the 100-yard breaststroke, touching in an incredible 58.56 in prelims. That swim broke Kasey Carlson’s record of 58.75 that was set back in 2009. Horejsi then came back to win the event in finals, touching only a tenth slower than the new record to take the win in 58.66. She also recorded a 26.25 breaststroke split as part of Albert Lea’s winning 200 medley relay (1:43.61) and won the 50 freestyle in 22.79. Both of those events were Minnesota Class A records as well.

Horejsi’s performance was a major drop for her (her previous best was a 59.56) and should be a signal for big things to come both this summer (her LCM best is 1:08.99 from this summer). Her performance will also make her an immediate impact in the fall of 2016 when she will join the already formidable breaststroke squad at the University of Minnesota.

Congratulations, Lindsey Horejsi, on earning the Swimming World Performance of the Week!

Amazing swim; I’m guessing Carlson’s previous record from 2009 was non-textile? That’s an NC2A “A” cut there!!
