COLLEGE PARK, Maryland, December 7. THE first full night of competition took place at the Tom Dolan Invitational with a U.S. National Age Group record in relays by Nation's Capital, as well as quite a few other close calls in terms of U.S. NAGs. Finals from the meet are being streamed LIVE at SwimmingWorld.TV. Live stream and on-demand information is available at our event landing page.

NCAP's Janet Hu, Robyn Dryer, Kristina Li and Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky took down the 15-16 U.S. National Age Group record with a sizzling time of 7:16.04. That effort cut two seconds off the 2010 record set by NBAC's Camryne Morris, Natalie Beale, Kelly Offutt and Kendall Surhoff.
