He started with a 12:09.40 in the 1000 freestyle, which took 10 seconds off the 70-74 age group record of 12:19.05 formerly held by Graham Johnston since 2001. Next up was the 200 freestyle, a record with which Quiggin was very familiar. He had swum a 2:07.37 in March to set the record, then lowered it last weekend to 2:06.63.<\/p>\n<p>As an encore, Quiggin posted a 5:48.21 in the 500 free, taking down another 14-year-old Johnston record of 5:51.37. Quiggin owns several world and USMS short course meters records in the 65-69 and 70-74 age group, and now has three in short course yards.<\/p>\n<p>Ellen Reynolds was a busy woman in Sarasota, swimming 11 events and setting YMCA records in all of them. The 50-year-old representing Treasure Valley saved her best for last, breaking her own USMS record 2:13.44 in the 200 IM with a 2:13.16.<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds got close to USMS records in a few events. Her 1:58.95 in the 200 free nearly took down Jill Hernandez\u2019s record of 1:58.43, while her 54.98 in the 100 free approached a Laura Val mark of 54.38 that has been around since 2002. Karlyn Pipes-Neilsen\u2019s 1:02.18 in the 100 IM was threatened by the 1:02.65 by Reynolds, and Reynolds almost took down her own national record of 59.72 in the 100 back with a 59.99.<\/p>\n<p>Two relay national records fell at the meet. Host team Sarasota posted a 3:53.33 in the women\u2019s 400 free relay for the 45+ age bracket, beating the 3:55.16 swum by New England Masters in 2002. Sylvia Buxton, Larissa Carmichael and Julie Tafuto were joined by Olympic gold medalist Sheila Taormina for the record-breaking swim. Taormina was the key leg, splitting a very fast 54.62.<\/p>\n<p>Cedar Rapids\u2019 foursome of Steven Heck, Bruce Rollins, Hubie Kerns and Glenn Gruber combined for a 3:46.11 in the 400 free relay, smashing the record of 4:01.05 swum earlier this year by Gold Coast Masters. The first three swimmers posted splits between 57.0 and 57.4, then Gruber blazed on the anchor leg with a 54.40.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\"
