CONCORD, California, July 31. DURING the fastest night of swimming of an already swift meet, Palo Alto Stanford lowered a U.S. National Age Group relay record at the Far Western Long Course Championships, and SwimmingWorld.TV was there to broadcast it LIVE and on-demand.<\/p>\n

Palo Alto's Maddy Schaefer, Jasmine Tosky, Rachael Acker and Camille Cheng teamed to demolish the women's 15-18 U.S. National Age Group record in the 200 free relay. The quarter turned in a 1:44.65, easily beating the previous mark of 1:46.08 set by Academy Bullets Kara Savegnago, Olivia Scott, Kally Fayhee and Courtney Pope last year. Incidentally, that swim also lowered the Pacific Swimming standard of 1:46.59 clocked by the Marin Pirates in 2009 as well. <\/p>\n

Crow Canyon's Ariana Saghafi downed the Pacific Swimming record in the girls 11-12 200 fly with a 2:21.94. That performance cleared the 2:22.23 set by Ally Howe back in 2008. <\/p>\n

Saghafi claimed her second Pacific Swimming mark in the girls 200 free relay as Brittany Usinger, Gianna Garcia, Abigail Miller and Saghafi turned in a 1:55.78 in the 11-12 A final. That effort beat the previous standard of 1:56.40 set by Pleasant Hill way back in 1979 \u2013 31 years ago.<\/p>\n

Palo Alto's Andrew Liang, William Lee, Winston Wang and Sean Nguyen clipped the Pac Swim record in the boys 13-14 200 free with a 1:43.67. The foursome just beat another longstanding Pleasant Hill record of 1:43.77 clocked way back in 1980 \u2013 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

In the 17-18 events, Delise Batiza paced the women's 200 fly in 2:22.72, while Jose Luis Hernandez claimed the men's 200 fly in 2:10.29. Taylor Noonan finished first in the women's 100 back in 1:08.58, while Connor Stuewe topped the men's 100 back in 1:00.51. Natalie Garger hit the wall in 2:47.28 to win the women's 200 breast, while Pearson Henri captured the men's 200 breast in 2:34.29. <\/p>\n

In the 15-16 events, Celina Li snared the girls 200 fly title in 2:18.22, while Luis Macias won the boys 200 fly in 2:06.51. Allison Brown snagged the girls 100 back in 1:06.97, while Kevin Khojasteh earned the boys 100 back crown in 1:00.46. Li doubled up with a 2:37.95 in the girls 200 breast, while Ronald Chen claimed the boys 200 breast in 2:27.73. Crow Canyon's Cody Tanabe, David Morgan, Andy Wooldridge and Dillon Williams posted a 1:39.35 to win the men's 15-18 200 free relay. <\/p>\n

In the 13-14 events, Rachel Knowles topped the girls 200 fly in 2:25.02, while Justin Dedianous touched out Justin Lynch, 2:11.75 to 2:11.85, in the boys 200 fly. Linnea Mack turned in a 1:05.27 to win the girls 100 back, while Lynch earned some touch-out retribution with a 1:02.57 to 1:02.64 triumph over William Lee in the boys 100 back. Aileen Lee picked up the girls 200 breast win in 2:42.22, while Noah Stewart garnered the boys 200 breast in 2:28.11. Osprey's Rachel Owen, Jasmine Yaghutiel, Catherine Ladd and Mack finished first in the girls 200 free relay with a 1:51.17. <\/p>\n

In the 11-12 events, Daichi Matsuda won the boys 200 fly in 2:19.42. Samantha Coloma and Kacey Oberlander tied for the girls 100 back title with matching 1:08.29s. Ben Ho posted a 1:06.79 to win the boys 100 back. Valerie Wang touched in 2:45.52 for the girls 200 breast win, while Curtis Shinn placed first in the boys 200 breast with a 2:41.51. Palo Alto's Kenny Joseph, Bo Field, Matsuda and Alex Liang claimed the boys 200 free relay in 1:54.21. <\/p>\n

In 10 and under events, Jacee Frivaldo edged Audrey Trieu, 1:18.39 to 1:18.59, in the girls 100 back. Joshua Camerino captured the boys 100 back in 1:16.50. Palo Alto's Izzy Ditzler, Vicky Wong, Ferna Vejar-Richter and Claire Lin won the girls 200 free relay in 2:08.36. Santa Clara's Chris Grey, David McKenna, Nathan Yates and Gianluca Bencomo topped the boys 200 free relay in 2:09.48.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
