The 2025 Austin Sectionals came to close with another series of fast performances on Sunday night.
Austin Swim Club’s Ella Mongenel posted the 7th-fastest time this season in the girls’ 17-18 50 freestyle. She turned in a time of 25.80, shaving .03 off of her lifetime best and bumping herself up from her former spot at #11 on the season’s rankings. Mongenel narrowly snagged the victory, edging out runner-up Avery Littlefield who raced in just behind her in 25.82.
Longhorn Aquatics’ Campbell Chase secured yet another victory, turning in a tremendous swim in the 200 IM. Chase posted a best time of 2:10.95, which knocked 1.33 off of her previous time and bumped her up the national rankings. Her performance marked the 8th-fastest time in the country this season and puts her in contention for the U.S. National Team, as usually the six athletes with the top times are selected to the team.
Alexandra Dunn of Longhorn Aquatics won the 1500 free, charging into the wall in a personal best time of 17:32.06 and knocking over 15 seconds off of her previous time. Dunn’s performance landed her at #33 on the season’s rankings of top times in the girls’ 17-18 age group.
Also posting a massive best time in the 1500 was Alamo Area Aquatic Association’s Cloe Nader, who dropped over 25 seconds to take 3rd overall in 17:36.19. Nader’s race marked her first time breaking the 18-minute barrier.
On the boys’ side, Leo Pelaez prevailed in the 1500 free in a lifetime best time of 15:49.84, claiming the championship title by nearly 10 full seconds. Pelaez knocked over 10 seconds off his previous time (16:00.75), marking his first time under 16:00.

Is that women’s 200 IM time right? 2.10 is surely knocking on the door of the US national team and would seem worth of more than just a passing mention.
Agreed. Hats off to Chase Campbell for a significant PB.
I was there and it surely is right. We were talking to our friends parents commenting that it was faster than our friends 6’7″ male swimmer swimming in one of the 2IM finals that evening. Before he swam his heat she was 5 seconds faster and when he finished the race he got a new PB at 2:11 and she was still faster! If I recall my son said she swam at the last Olympic Trials and she’s a UT college swimmer.
