NISCA All-American Showcase: Baylor Boys, Carmel Girls Set Records Atop 200 Medley Relays

PHOENIX, Arizona, July 8. THIS year, a pair of strong performances stood atop the NISCA All-American lists in the 200-yard medley relay.

The Baylor boys took down the overall national high school record with a sizzling time of 1:27.74, while Carmel’s girls lowered the national public school mark and nearly eclipsed the overall record with a 1:40.83.

At the TISCA Tennessee High School Championships in February, Dan Flack’s Baylor boys put up one of the top relay swims in high school history as the relay team of Luke Kaliszak (21.81), Dustin Tynes (24.83), Sam McHugh (21.02) and Christian Selby (20.08) went a time of 1:27.74. that time was part of a big meet for Baylor as the squad won the state title after taking second to Montgomery Bell the year before.

Here’s video of Baylor’s swim:

For the girls, Carmel continued its dominance in Indiana. The foursome of Hanna House, Alex Clarke, Veronica Burchill and Amy Bilquist chased down the state title with a blazing time of 1:40.83. Splits were unavailable. That swim pushed the public school record into the 1:40s, downing Holland’s 1:41.01 from 2011 that featured a blazing 24.66 backstroke split from Courtney Bartholomew. The time just missed the overall high school record of 1:40.73 set by Carondelet back in 2011.

Here’s video of Carmel’s swim:

The win helped Chris Plumb’s Carmel squad to its epic 28th straight state title in Indiana as the team fired on all cylinders at the IU Natatorium at IUPUI.

While Carmel and Baylor had the most impressive medley relay swims of the high school year, other teams around the country made the 2013-14 season more amazing. A look at the top eight relays per gender shows the remarkable depth and talented speed evident in high school swimming, which is a promising sign for the future of the sport.
