Peirsol Smashes Lenny’s World Mark in the 200m Backstroke"},"content":{"rendered":"

MINNEAPOLIS, March 20. EIGHTEEN year-old Aaron Peirsol smashed the world record for the 200 meter backstroke tonight at the USA Swimming Championships in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Peirsol, representing Irvine Novaquatics, clocked 1:55.15 seconds to destroy the global standard of 1:55.87 set by triple 2000 Olympic gold medalist Lenny Krayzelburg (USA) at the Pan Pacific Championships on August 7, 1999.<\/p>\n

"It was pretty sweet," Peirsol said after the race. "I'm elated.<\/p>\n

"To get right down to it, I knew it was my time," he said. "I wasn't being cocky at all. I was just confident before the race that everything was going to go as planned. It just felt like a world-record
\nrace. <\/p>\n

"After the race, Peirsol's coach, Dave Salo, and his teammates, swarmed around him, congratulting him.<\/p>\n

"My coach was crying, my sister was crying," Peirsol said. "I think I was the only one who wasn't crying. I was too tired to cry."<\/p>\n

In other highlights: Olympic champion Tom Malchow had no trouble winning the 200 meter butterfly in the absence of world record-holder Michael Phelps. Malchow finished in 1:55.13, winning by a huge margin of seven-and-a-half seconds, and less than half a second behind Phelps' world mark.<\/p>\n

The men's 100m freestyle was won by Jason Lezak, another Nova swimmer, in a lifetime best 48.89 seconds. The time make him the fifth fastest American in history, behind only 2001 world champion Anthony Ervin, 1988 Olympic champion Matt Biondi, olympian Neil Walker and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Gary Hall, Jr.<\/p>\n

Lezak's Olympic temmates Scott Tucker (49.46) and Nate Dusing (49.48) finished second and third.<\/p>\n

Megan Quann, 2000 Olympic champion in the 100 meter breaststroke, took the 200 in 2:27.42, with 15 year-old Alexi Spann, Circle C, second in 2:30.32.<\/p>\n

Irvine Nova made it a sweep of the 200 meter backstroke events when 15 year-old Diana MacManus won the women's event in 2:11.80, four seconds ahead of her teammate, Erin Volcan.<\/p>\n

Sixteen year-old Mary Hill, Dynamo Swim Club, was a dynamo on the final 50 of the women's 200 meter fly, overtaking defending champion, Tara Kirk. Hill touched in 2:12.92 to Kirk's 2:13.09. Whitney Meyers, who was fifth at the halfway mark, came on strong at the end to finish third in 2;13.23.<\/p>\n
