Amongst an impressive field, 14-year-old Grace Sheble put up a historic performance in the girls’ 400IM on Friday at the 2017 NCAP Invitational. She split 57.09/1:04.68/1:09.91/57.32 for a final time of 4:09.00. She now is the second fastest 13-14 swimmer ever in the event, with Katie Hoff being the only girl to ever go under 4:09. Meghan Lynch took second in a still-quick 4:16.24, followed by Caroline Sheble in 4:24.75.
The invite features a number of swimmers who swam at Winter Nationals last weekend, mostly in “off” events, or just a wider range of events. Here are the highlights from days 1 and 2:
- 14-year-old Paige McKenna won the girls 13-14 race in 16:53.12, while 15-year-old Chase Travis won the open race in 16:19.57. 17-year-old Brooke Travis was second in 16:21.36.
- On the boys’ side, 14-year-old Logan Deal, 13-year-old Cole Greenberg, and 14-year-old Alex Misiaszek went 1:3.75, 16:37.58, and 16:39.07, with the rest of the field nearly 20 seconds behind. Daniel Gyenis won the 15+ race in 15:26.45.
- Madison So won the 12&under 500 in 5:08.96, well over two seconds ahead of her closet competitor. Matt Beehler won the boys’ race in 4:54.02, over 8 seconds ahead of Michael Mullen‘s 5:02.12 second-place swim.
- In the boys’ 100 breast, three 14-year-olds were under 1:00. Eric Liao went 59.23, Dylan Danaie 59.41, and Joseph Hong 59.55.
- 17-year-old Morgan Scott topped the girls’ open 200 free in 1:46.60, while Reece Whitley grabbed the win on the boys’ side in 1:37.23.
- Phoebe Bacon, 15, won the open girls’ 100 fly in 53.26, followed by 18-year-old Cassidy Bayer in 53.55. Also under 54 was 15-year-old Abby Harter in 53.75. Reece Whitley topped the boys’ race in 48.26, followed by Steven Thalblum in 48.53, and Philip Manoff in 48.73.
- Tess Howley dropped a 58.53 in the girls’ 11-12 100 back, while Matt Beehler won the 11-12 boys’ race in 57.41.
So what is Katie Hoff’s Time in 400-IM, wish the article would state it so that I don’t have to look it up.
I think Katie Hoff’s record in the 400IM is one of if not the oldest 13-14 record.
Hoff’s time then, and this time mid-season are both mind-blowing. Incredible swims!!!!
Grace is about to turn 15, so this was her last chance.
I think Whitley negative splits his 100s.
Why aren’t the fast 15-18 year olds at junior nationals?
NCAP always hosts this meet as apposed to traveling for Junior Nationals.
Not sure what the results were of this meet, but I’m pretty sure Matt Beehler didn’t win the mens 100 back in 57.41.
He’s 12
It’s an 11-12 race.
