The 11-12 portion of the record book needed to be rewritten quite a bit at the end of the meet.

Audrey Lukawski, representing Pacific, cruised to a 2:50.28 in the 200 breast, with Colorado’s Baylor Cobb breaking the boys 200 breast record with his 2:42.98. New Mexico’s Chrysten Pacheco set the 11-12 girls 200 fly record at 2:31.76.<\/p>\n
