On Saturday, Kaitlyn Jones of Delaware broke the National Independent High School Record in the 200 IM with a 1:56.31. Read the full report here.
More from our initial report:
That broke the 1:56.85 set by Olympic Champion Missy Franklin just a month ago at the Colorado State Championship meet. Just before that, the record belonged to yet another Olympian, Kathleen Hersey, in 1:57.41.
Hersey ’08 – 25.11 – 29.25 – 34.86 – 28.19 - 1:57.41
Franklin ’13 – 25.59 – 27.89 – 35.73 – 27.64 – 1:56.85
Jones ’13 – 25.27 – 27.76 – 35.25 – 28.03 – 1:56.31
You should put Dagny Knutson’s splits up there for comparison’s sake (as the overall National HS record).
