14-year-old\u00a0Charlotte Hook\u00a0<\/strong>blasted the 13-14 NAG record in the 200 fly on the final night of the 2018 Speedo Winter Junior Nationals East Championships. Earlier in the night, Alex<\/strong> and\u00a0Gretchen Walsh\u00a0<\/strong>narrowly missed breaking NAG records of their own in the 200 breast and 100 free respectively. Hook finally broke a NAG record on Saturday night in Greensboro after two misses earlier in the night.<\/p>\n

Hook dropped almost a full second off her best time in the 200 fly as she swam a 1:55.67, lowering the record from a 1:56.01 that was held by Katie Crom\u00a0<\/b>from earlier this year. Coming into the day, Hook’s best was a 1:56.62 from March 2018, and she was 6th all-time in the event. She swims at the same club team as\u00a0Claire Curzan<\/strong>, who won the 100 fly and 200 back this weekend.<\/p>\n

Hook passed some legendary names on the all-time list that include 1984 Olympic Champion\u00a0Mary T. Meagher\u00a0<\/strong>and current USA National team member Regan Smith<\/strong>. She also passed Dynamo Swim Club’s\u00a0Tristen Ulett<\/strong>, who was seventh in the race tonight.<\/p>\n

Hook won the final holding off a late charge from 15-year-old\u00a0Grace Sheble\u00a0<\/strong>(1:56.25) and South Florida’s\u00a0Mary Smutny\u00a0<\/strong>(1:56.69). Sheble’s time is not a best time as the 400 IM champ was a 1:55.82 in March this year.<\/p>\n

Megan Deuel\u00a0<\/strong>(1:57.96),\u00a0Kelly Pash\u00a0<\/strong>(1:58.27),\u00a0Gabi Albiero\u00a0<\/strong>(1:58.30)\u00a0and\u00a0Rachel Klinker\u00a0<\/strong>(1:59.85) also swam in the A-Final.<\/p>\n
