Audrey Derivaux of Jersey Wahoos put on a show on night 1 of Austin Futures swimming to a 2:07.70 in the women’s 200 butterfly. That time moves her up to become the 2nd fastest 13-14 all-time.
Derivaux moves up from #3 to #2, passing Cassidy Bayer. Derivaux’s previous best sat at a 2:09.83 that she swam last month at US Olympic Trials for a 10th place finish in semifinals. Her time from tonight would have finished 4th at Trials during finals and only 1.01 seconds off of making the US Olympic Team as Alex Shackell was 2nd in a 2:06.69.

Derivaux has been on a roll recently and her time drop today now marks a total improvement of over four seconds in the last year. Her best time coming into this summer was a 2:11.54 that she swam at Summer Juniors in August 2023. Derivaux notably will swim the 200 fly next month at Junior Pan Pacs in Australia but will age up to the 15-16 age group before then.
She is slated to swim the 400 IM tomorrow where she enters as the top seed. She notably made the US Olympic Trials final in the 400 IM after a best time of a 4:45.23 in the morning before swimming a 4:46.89 for 8th in finals.
Only .3 off the World Championship winning time.

Who is the upcoming fly star ?
Congrats Audrey! Amazing swim. Mary T. is otherworldly!
Aint no way Mary Meagher swam a 2:07.01 in the 200 fly at age 16 in 1979. Cmon now, that has to be an error. They didn’t even really have underwater dolphin kicks in that year. If Mary would have grown up now with the new rules, better coaching, better everything, she probably would have gone under 2:00. Cmon now!
Correction: 14 years old. Even crazier!!
Mary T did only 2 fly kicks underwater yet rumor has it she could do a 1:04 100 meter fly kick on a board. She was the Goat
Watch her 1981 world record from brown deer
She didn’t wear goggles and wore what would be a practice suit or non-suited in today’s terms.
Whoa!
That’s a sick time.

First time anyone has been within two seconds of that legendary NAG by a legendary swimmer. Insane.
