Maximus Williamson is absolutely on fire this weekend, picking up his third National High School record in the 100 freestyle.
Just an hour after he broke every High School record in the 200 freestyle with his 1:30.46, Williamson came back in the 100 free to go 41.54, winning by almost three seconds, shattering the previous record.
His opening 50 was 19.67 to his feet. This would have won the individual 50 freestyle by three tenths of a second. He came home just about two seconds off this, splitting 21.87 on his 2nd 50, which was still the fastest split in the field.
Williamson had the previous fastest high school time ever at 41.84, which he went leading off a relay last year. He is now only three-tenths off Ryan Hoffer’s 17-18 NAG record of 41.23.
If Williamson was already in college at UVA, he would have been the only Cavalier to make the ‘A’ final in the event, coming in 2nd behind Jack Alexy‘s 41.52. The UVA men’s team record in the event is 41.22 set by Matt Brownstead in 2022, which Williamson is only three tenths away from
He still has both freestyle relays left to swim.
Wow!! Crushing all the Free events! 🔥
3 individual national records in one meet. Has that ever happened before? He also holds three other national records from last year – 200 IM and the two free relays.
Yes, David Nolan in 2011. 100free, 200im, 100back. Also came very close to the record in the 50free. But he did those across 2 days I believe.
Gotta go way back to be clearly better. But guys have set National Records (not HS records) at High School meets.
And the list of women to set National records in High School competition is long.
Wow new national HS record in the 50 free now too broke David Curtiss record by .03 19.08
19.08 to lead the 200 free relay!
UVA men’s team record in the 100 free is Matt Brownstead 41.22 from 2022. Not 42.21 from 2010

A few weeks ago, there was a lot of people on this website talking incredibly harsh about this highschooler. Wonder what they are thinking now?
Lance McCullers of the Astros used to write on his shoes, “SIUEFA”. It stood for Shove It Up Everyone’s F’’in A**
Kid should get a tattoo of that for all the haters
Digital muscles with a high schooler, class.
The main point is that when he is clearly the best in the pool he shines, but when he gets to bigger meets where he has to actually work the story is different.
What an amazing talent
