July 20, 2007. What an amazing swim for these boys! Pretty nice work on a 23 year old record. I think this is a fast swimming renaissance era for swimming all over the world. These very old records going down. First, Kate Ziegler destroyed Janet Evans' NAG and World Record and now these Longhorn boys going after the Santa Clara powerhouse. Congratulations to Conor, David, Matthew and Eric, and also to their coaches. Lauren
