Night three of the 2016 Speedo Winter Junior National Championships West ended on a high note as the men of Scottsdale Aquatic Club dashed their way to a new 15-18 National Age Group (NAG) record in the men’s 200 freestyle relay.<\/p>\n

Teammates\u00a0Jack Blake<\/strong> (20.25),\u00a0Ray van Deusen\u00a0<\/strong>(20.15),\u00a0Parker Hughes<\/strong> (20.13), and\u00a0Ryan Hoffer<\/strong> (18.76) posted a combined time of 1:19.29 to slip past the 1:19.55 set by Nation’s Capital Swim Club in 2015. Blake, van Deusen, and Hoffer are all 18, while Hughes is currently 15.<\/p>\n

Comparative Splits:<\/p>\n

\n
SAC (Dec 2016): 20.25\/20.15\/20.13\/18.76 – 1:19.29<\/li>\n
NCAP (Mar 2015): 20.25\/19.41\/20.31\/19.58 – 1:19.55<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Before NCAP set their 1:19.55 in 2015, the 15-18 200 free relay had belonged to SAC with a time of 1:19.56.<\/p>\n
While SAC’s final relay time qualifies as a NAG record, it was not quick enough to break the championship meet record of 1:19.03. That record from 2012, although faster than the NAG record, does not qualify for a NAG as some members of Bolles relay team are not American.<\/p>\n
