The stars of the Las Vegas-based club are already established swimmers on the national and international scene \u2014\u00a0<strong>Bella Sims<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Katie Grimes<\/strong> were members of the U.S. Olympic team in 2021 while\u00a0<strong>Claire Weinstein<\/strong> joined that duo on the World Championships team this summer \u2014 and together, they swam the fastest 18-and-under 800 freestyle relay by 13 seconds while posting a mark that would have placed second at last year&#8217;s NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Sims led off for the Sandpipers in 1:40.78, more than two seconds quicker than her previous lifetime-best mark and good enough to make her the eighth-fastest performer ever in the event. The list of swimmers to surpass that time include\u00a0<strong>Missy Franklin<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Mallory Comerford<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Simone Manuel<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Allison Schmitt<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong>. Sims is now ranked second all-time among 17-18 girls behind Franklin, who swam a mark of 1:40.31 in 2014. At the World Championships last June, Sims <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-katie-ledecky-bella-sims-propel-u-s-women-to-upset-gold-in-800-free-relay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anchored the U.S. women&#8217;s 800-meter free relay team to gold in 1:54.60<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/bella-sims-pops-pair-of-world-junior-records-in-12-minute-span-sets-marks-in-200-freestyle-and-100-backstroke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her run of success has continued into a brilliant fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Grimes, who won silver medals at the World Championships in the 1500-meter free and 400 IM, split 1:43.26 on the second leg. <strong>Macky Hodges<\/strong> went 1:44.60 on the third leg before Weinstein, who led off the U.S. women&#8217;s gold-medal relay in Budapest, handled anchor duties in 1:44.02. The final time was 6:52.66, which obliterated the 15-18 girls&#8217; National Age Group record and Junior Nationals meet record of 7:02.90 established by the Sandpipers&#8217; Grimes, Weinstein,\u00a0<strong>Paige Kuwata<\/strong> and Sims last year.<\/p>\n<p>That final time would have been good enough to finish second at the NCAA Championships last year behind only a Stanford team that featured four Olympic medalists. The Sandpipers&#8217; time was eight tenths faster than national runnerup Virginia, a team led by\u00a0<strong>Alex Walsh<\/strong> that finished in 6:53.47 and third-place Cal (6:53.52). And that&#8217;s with a team of high school swimmers with only two seniors (Sims and Hodges).<\/p>\n<p>In the battle for places behind the star-studded team from Nevada, Mission Viejo finished second in 7:15.74 with\u00a0<strong>Teagan O&#8217;Dell<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Teia Salvino<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Ava Withey<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Sydney Willson<\/strong>. O&#8217;Dell led off that relay in a blistering time of 1:44.60. Crow Canyons finished third in 7:17.15 with\u00a0<strong>Ellie Butler<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Raya Mellott<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Sadie Suppiger<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Bailey Hartman<\/strong>, who anchored in 1:44.37.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.txlameetresults.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Results<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bella Sims Moves to No. 8 All-Time in 200 Free, Sandpipers Crush NAG Relay Record at Juniors West As the U.S. Winter Junior Nationals West got underway Thursday evening in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":515645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7],"tags":[126572,75453,127681,101840,43159,103739,131147],"class_list":["post-517368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","tag-bella-sims","tag-claire-weinstein","tag-katie-grimes","tag-macky-hodges","tag-sandpipers-of-nevada","tag-teagan-odell","tag-u-s-junior-nationals"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
