CLEARWATER, Florida, April 18. MICHAEL Andrew turned 15 years old today, but was still able to set a national age group record in the 13-14 age group at the NASA Showcase Classic tonight. <\/p>\n

Meet rules set a swimmer’s age for the meet as their age on the first day, which meant Andrew was still 14 years old, and was able to knock nearly a second off his 100 fly record with a 46.95, splitting 21.58 at the 50. His fastest swim before today was a 47.23 from last month’s NASA Junior Championship.<\/p>\n

The time will count as the 13-14 record, but it also beats the mark in the 15-16 age group. Alex Valente swam a 46.99 at a sectional meet last January, and will now wait to see when Andrew steps up for his next short course yards race.<\/p>\n

Notably, Andrew scratched from the final of the 200 breaststroke after a 2:01.72 in prelims. That means Reece Whitley’s record of 1:58.39 will stand as the only non-distance freestyle record in the 13-14 age group that Andrew was not able to surpass.<\/p>\n

Vinny Marciano took a sledgehammer to the 11-12 national age group record in the 100-yard backstroke tonight, posting a 51.40 in the event.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s performance marks the fourth time the 12-year-old from Morris County Swim Club has set the 200 back record in 2014. He set it twice in one day in January , posting times of 53.43 and 53.26<\/a>. In March, he took the record lower with a 52.47, a time that did not last long. Destin Lasco swam a 52.32 the following day. <\/p>\n

Lasco has now taken the record to another stratosphere. He split 24.65 at the 50-yard mark tonight before a 26.75 in the final 50.<\/p>\n

Marciano returned to put up a 53.33 in the 100 fly final, as well as a 48.34 in the 100 free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
