On the men&#8217;s side, five records have endured from the 2008 and 2009 seasons, including a trio (200 freestyle; 200 butterfly; 200 individual medley) from the legendary Michael Phelps. However, there are only two women&#8217;s records remaining from that era.<\/p>\n<p>As we did with the men&#8217;s American records in a previous article, let&#8217;s take a look at the oldest women&#8217;s standards, and who is best positioned to break them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-longest-standing-american-records-and-who-can-break-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Men&#8217;s Article<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Allison Schmitt (200 Freestyle)<br \/>\nRecord Time: 1:53.61 (2012)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Record:<\/strong> At the 2012 Olympic Games, Allison Schmitt packaged a dominant performance in the 200 freestyle, blazing to victory by nearly two seconds over Frenchwoman Camille Muffat. While Schmitt&#8217;s national record has been scared on a handful of occasions through the years, including by Katie Ledecky, it recently celebrated its 13th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The American Chasers:<\/strong> Over the past few years, Claire Weinstein has established herself as the United States&#8217; premier performer in the 200 freestyle. Despite battling illness at the World Championships last summer in Singapore, Weinstein registered a career-best time in the 200 freestyle, going 1:54.67 for the bronze medal. In her freshman year at Cal-Berkeley, Weinstein seems poised to continue her development in the four-lap event and give Schmitt&#8217;s record a nudge.<\/p>\n<h3>Ariana Kukors (200 Individual Medley)<br \/>\nRecord Time: 2:06.15 (2009)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Record:<\/strong> During the 2009 World Championships in Rome, Ariana Kukors cooked up a pair of world records in the 200 individual medley. After producing a mark of 2:07.03 in the semifinals, Kukors rocketed to the gold medal with a global standard of 2:06.15. That performance stood as the world record for six years, until Hungarian Katinka Hosszu went 2:06.12 at the World Champs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The American Chasers:<\/strong> During the Summer of 2024, the United States&#8217; Kate Douglass clocked an outing of 2:06.79 at the Olympic Trials. That swim was followed up by a mark of 2:06.92 at the Olympic Games, which was good for the silver medal. Douglass would certainly have a chance at Kukors&#8217; record, but opted away from the event during the 2025 season and her future in the 200 medley remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<h3>Katie Hoff (400 Individual Medley)<br \/>\nRecord Time: 4:31.12 (2008)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Record:<\/strong> The 2008 United States Olympic Trials was the site of Katie Hoff&#8217;s performance of 4:31.12, which was a world record at the time and preceded a bronze medal in the event at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Over the past 17 years, Hoff&#8217;s standard has repelled challenges from the likes of Elizabeth Beisel, Maya DiRado and Katie Grimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The American Chasers:<\/strong> The leading challenger to Hoff&#8217;s American record is murky. Katie Grimes has been the closest pursuer in recent years, thanks to an effort of 4:31.41 at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka. During the 2025 season, Emma Weyant was the top American, as she went a best of 4:33.95. If Grimes can regain her past form in the event, she stands the best chance of breaking Hoff&#8217;s record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Longest-Standing American Records and Who Can Break Them (Women&#8217;s Edition) A glance at the American records from the long-course pool reveals there are more longstanding marks among men than<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":614007,"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":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7,10],"tags":[24853,56083,27490,26341],"class_list":["post-625679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","category-world","tag-allison-schmitt","tag-american-records","tag-ariana-kukors","tag-katie-hoff"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
