Brent Creager is continuing to make his mark as a Masters swimmer, taking down one of the oldest U.S. Masters Swimming short course yards records Thursday at the USA Swimming Sectionals in Austin and breaking another on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Creager, 35, placed second in the 200 butterfly with a 1:46.87. While it was three seconds behind 17-year-old Arizona Gold teammate Mark Jurek’s winning time of 1:43.72, it was far ahead of Bobby Patten’s USMS record of 1:50.74 from 1999 in the 35-39 age group. Creager first broke the record in prelims with a 1:49.90. With Creager’s swim, only seven men’s short course yards national records set in the 20th century remain.<\/p>\n

Creager was back in the pool on Saturday for the 100 butterfly, and he set his sights on the 49.35 by Igor Marchenko swum in 2012. In prelims, Creager took down that record with a 49.04, then lowered it even further in finals with a 48.63 for fourth place.<\/p>\n

Creager also put up a swift 3:59.98 in the 400 IM for ninth place overall, but couldn’t match the record of 3:56.76 swum by 1992 Olympian Ron Karnaugh in 2001.<\/p>\n

Creager also owns the short course meters Masters world record in the 200 fly in the same age group with a 2:02.98 last November<\/a>. Creager was a standout at Penn State and competed in the 2012 Olympic Trials.<\/p>\n

Though the Austin sectionals is not a Masters meet, Creager’s time can be counted as a USMS record. National records can be set in any sanctioned meet, though FINA world records must be swum in Masters sanctioned meets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
