While the college boys are making serious waves at NCAA D-1 Championships this weekend in Texas, here in the North East, major records have fallen amidst chilly temperatures at the 2014 Eastern Zones SCY Age-Group Championships.<\/p>\n<p>Although there is still one day to go, if there were a \u201cswimmer of the meet\u201d award, it would certainly go to 12 year old, Alexandra Walsh of Connecticut, who has already set 3-meet records, including one of Olympic champion, Katie Hoff\u2019s 11-12 record in the 200 IM dating back to 2002! Hoff\u2019s age-group records, many of which still stand, are no easy feat to topple. But Walsh did so with a blistering 2:03.83\u2014more than 3 seconds faster than the young-gun Hoff!<\/p>\n<p>The amazing Olympic champion and swim-enthusiast, Hoff tweeted a heart-felt congratulations to Walsh on breaking her long-standing record.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-partner=\"tweetdeck\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SwimmingWorld\">@SwimmingWorld<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ErinQuinn11\">@ErinQuinn11<\/a> congrats to her that&#8217;s awesome !!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Katie Hoff (@khoff09) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/khoff09\/statuses\/449498195421593600\">March 28, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention that this record was broken, shortly after Walsh decimated the 11-12 Eastern Zones 200 backstroke record, held by Emily Meilus of PVS from 2012 (2:02.89) with a awe-inspiring time of 1:58.31.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh was far from done. During Friday prelims she took down a record dating back from 1993\u2014<br \/>\nBeth Botsford of Maryland (26.62) in the 11-12 50 backstroke with a 26.61. In finals, she still won by a large margin but went a 26:63, just a hair-off her record-setting prelim swim. Saturday, Walsh walks in with the top seed for the 11-12 girls 100 backstroke with a stunning 55.31. Will another record fall? I think barring unusual circumstances, it\u2019s safe to say that Walsh is poised to take a 4th Eastern Zone record!<\/p>\n<p>While the tall, slender, shy 12 year old phenom from Connecticut certainly stood out, there were several other record-breaking swims including that of Kimani Gregory, 12 of Allegany Mountain (AM) LSC who took down the 2011, 100 freestyle record of Connecticut\u2019s Bryce Murad (49.43) with a scorching 49.23! He followed that swim up with a 1st place in the 11-12 boys 100IM\u201457.13, a personal best, but not the meet-record still owned by Tanner Kurz, 55.56, of Maryland from 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Watch out for the sweet-spirited and beastly freestyler, Gregory as he is poised to continue to have a fantastic swimming career.<\/p>\n<p>Next up would be none only than the 13 year old, Morgan Scott from Mid-Atlantic who slaughtered the 500 yard freestyle, taking down a 14 year old Eastern Zones record by Casey Wagner of Alleghany Mountain with a 4:58.33. And she\u2019s only 13 years old!<\/p>\n<p>Brendan Burns, 12 years old, representing Mid-Atlantic LSC crushed his field in the 11-12 200FLY finals with a sizzling 2:05.28! Another stellar 200FLY 1st place swim by 12 year old Sarah Hardy of New Jersey in 2:10.66 with an incredible back-half to blow off the competition!<\/p>\n<p>While Speedo Sectionals have siphoned off many of the all-star 13-up age-group swimmers, Eastern Zones SCY age-group Championships was hardly starved of out-of-this-world swims and will continue to tear off the barn-roofs tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p>The future of swimming in all corners of the US is looking bright!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Erin Quinn WEBSTER, New York, March 28.
