While many in the swimming community were busy following all of the action and excitement at the 2018 Phillips 66 U.S. National Championships in Irvine, California, exciting records were being broken across the country in Wisconsin.

Maggie Wanezek of the Elmbrook Swim Club became the first girl in the 11-12 age group to break the 30 second barrier in the girls 50 meter backstroke. Wanezek did so while swimming at the 2018 Wisconsin 12 & Under State Championships in Brown Deer, Wisconsin.

The 12-year-old sprinted to a 29.36 to smash past the previous National Age Group record of 30.16, posted by Keaton Blovad in 2011. In addition to her record-breaking victory in the 50 back, Wanezek collected individual victories in the 100 back (1:03.60), 200 back (2:20.29), 50 free (26.93), 100 free (59.52), and the 200 IM (2:27.02). Each of her victories doubled as Wisconsin State Records.

Wanezek also was a member of two relay teams and was a major contributor to the state title won by Elmbrook Swim Club.
