A month after a breakthrough 1:05 in the 100 breaststroke, 14-year-old Ian Call of the Memphis Thunder Aquatic Club exploded for a 1:03.78 in Columbus, Georgia.
The swim was a nearly-two second improvement on his previous lifetime best from May, and easily won the open-age event.
The swim also now ranks Call as the 4th-best 13-14 in US history in the event.
Top 7 American 13-14s
- Reece Whitley, Penn Charter, 1:03.23 (2014)
- Liam Bell, Dynamo Swim Club, 1:03.57 (2015)
- Ethan Dang, KING Aquatic Club, 1:03.62 (2016)
- Ian Call, Memphis Thunder Aquatic Club, 1:03.78 (2023)
- Josh Matheny, PEAQ, 1:03.80 (2017)
- Michael Andrew, Race Pace Club, 1:03.83 (2014)
- Wilson York, Lakeside Swim Team, 1:04.09 (2023)
York, who is only 13, swam his time the same weekend in Nashville.
Call’s swim is a US Open qualifying standard in the event.
Call swept the breaststroke races at the meet, winning the 50 in 29.13 and the 200 in 2:26.16.
He also added a win in the 1500 free in 17:38.57, and was the runner-up in the 200 IM (2:15.38).
Call ages up later this summer, so still could sneak in another meet to chase Whitley’s National Age Group Record in the event.
