The Marlins’ had some serious speed on the front half, courtesy of the Foster brothers. Jake Foster, in particular, ripped a 29.85 breast leg which is a scary good split for a 14 year old swimmer. Jake was also a member of two of the Marlins’ other NAG record-holding relays, the 13-14 400 medley relay in both SCY and LCM. The Marlins hold the 800 free relay NAG in the 13-14 age group, as well.
