In a weekend of quick relays, the Irvine Novaquatics 15-16 boys helped rewrite the record books. Owen KaoJustin NguyenHunter Hitchens, and Andrew Koustik combined for a 7:37.48 in the 800 freestyle relay, lowering the old National Age Group record by over two seconds.

Irvine Aquazots’ Logan RedondoChristopher WongJoshua Smith, and Michael Hauss swam a 7:39.77 to set the old mark in 2010.

Saturday’s Splits/ Lifetime Best times

Kao- 1:53.04/ 1:52.57

Nguyen- 1:52.98/ 1:52.50

Hitchens- 1:54.92/ 1:54.00

Koustik- 1:56.54/ 1:56.63

All four boys are at the upper end of the age group at 16. However, given their previous individual best times there could be room for improvement. The 17-18 NAG stands at 7:25.78 set by Nova of Virginia in 2015.

Last night’s swim won the event by twelve seconds at the 2016 Los Angeles Invite.
