Louisville freshman Jake Eccelston had a sensational ACCs, dropping nearly 2 seconds in the 100 breast to go from 53.3 to 51.4 (9th) before making his first A-Final in the 200 breast. In that A-Final, Eccleston not only went another huge PB, 1:51.0, but he also broke the 17-18 National Age Group Record held by Josh Matheny.

Eccelston relayed how much the team environment of Louisville has helped him excel this year, particularly his training partner Denis Petrashov, who he has yet to beat in a race this season.
