A full meet recap will be released following this report.
At the Florida 1A High School State Swimming and Diving Championships, the Bolles School’s 200 medley relay team of seniors Krish Jain, Lucas Young, George Dovellos, and Liam Carrington lowered the National High School Record set earlier this year by Hinsdale Central (IL) of 1:26.75, clocking a staggering 1:26.67.
The relay was one of three relay wins that Bolles captured on the weekend; later claiming both the 200 freestyle relay (1:20.29) and 400 free relay (2:55.23).
Bolles owned the race from start to finish; winning by nearly six and a half seconds. Jain opened in 21.95 backstroke leg. Young then took over and split 24.37 on the breaststroke. Dovellos fired off a near sub 21 second fly leg in 21.03, before handing the anchor reins over to Carrington, charging home in 19.32 to set a new National High School Record in the event.
As mentioned the previous record was set at the 2025 Illinois High School Boys State Championships in February by the Hinsdale Central team of Luke Vatev, Josh Bey, Henry Guo, and Matthew Vatev in 1:26.75.
This win marks Bolles’ 6th straight FHSAA 1A 200 medley relay win, and their 17th 200 medley win in the last 18 years.
Splits Comparison:
| Bolles (New Record) | Hinsdale Central (Former Record) | |
| Back | Jain – 21.95 | L Vatev – 21.53 |
| Breast | Young – 24.37 | Bey – 24.04 |
| Fly | Dovellos – 21.03 | Guo – 21.01 |
| Free | Carrington – 19.32 | M Vatev – 20.17 |
| Total Time | 1:26.67 | 1:26.75 |
The key discrepancy between the two swims was in the freestyle leg, Carrington’s anchor leg outsplit that of Matthew Vatev by .85 seconds. Meanwhile every other leg was slower than that of Hinsdale Central.
Jain has verbally committed to Columbia University, Young is committed to Michigan, Dovellos will also be making his way to the Ivy League having committed to Harvard, and Carrington is committed to NC State.
All state meets are not consistent. Many states such as Illinois have a five month season with a 2 day State meet with prelim and finals on separate days.
Florida has a 10 week season with a one day HS state meet with prelims at 8:30am and finals at 5:30pm, so this time is even more impressive considering the lack of additional recovery and shortened training period.
This is a high school record, not a USA swimming record. Requirements are based on eligibility by state HS athletic associations. Very different…
All state meets are not consistent. Many states such as Illinois are a 2 day meet with prelim and finals on separate days. Florida has a 10 week season with a single one day HS state meet, prelims at 8:30am and finals at 5:30pm, so this time is even more impressive considering the lack of additional recovery and shortened training period.
Also this is a high school record, not a USA national record. Requirements are based on eligibility by state HS athletic associations. Very different than a USA national record.
Other high schools just have to recruit better and upgrade their housing / dorms.
We’ve had two kids leave our area for Bolles. Awesome record, but I will take the public school one as the gold standard as it was set by kids from the same neighborhood! I’m guessing a wick meet mobile search would indicate this is an all star team from across the country
If you think swimmers never move to a certain neighborhood to attend a certain public school either, then I have some land to sell you in Carmel, Indiana.
Making some wild accusations there 👀
I’m not sure it’s that wild.
There’s a big difference between kids moving to different neighborhoods or even across states to go to certain schools than recruiting kids from other countries to produce a “national” record. Should kids who don’t hold US citizenship hold US national records? I don’t know the answer to that.
Hinsdale central is a public high school where all 4 boys grew up within only a few miles of each other. Sad that their record couldn’t stand for much longer
I’m gonna check the rule books to see if there is a requirement that all relay members grew up within a couple miles of each other. If not, it sounds like Bolles is playing by the rules.
Nobody said they aren’t playing by the rules. Not sure what ghosts you are fighting
I’m not fighting any ghosts. I just don’t find either school more deserving of a national record than the other school based on where they grew up.
Are clubs that have kids driving an hour plus to get to practice less valid than clubs that have kids who all live within 5 miles of the pool? I just don’t get yournl original point.
Not the original poster but club teams are way different than high school. You can swim at any club no matter where you live. You have to physically move your address to go to a different school. Also I don’t think the original poster was trying to say that they were less deserving
That may be the case but the best swimmer on that relay moved from a different city (more than a few miles away) just to swim at Hinsdale Central. Wouldn’t have broken the record without him.
For me, if they attend school there, they are a part of the team. I don’t care where they grew up, what club they swam for previously, etc.
Best HS team in the country?
There is no doubt. Consistently next level. And what you don’t see is that swimmers from other local HS teams that win championships also swim for Bolles Club team. Dynasty in every sense of the word.
But st x has t shirts that say mythical national champs
Even with the recruiting and this swim, probably one of the weaker Bolles men’s team in a while.
No one native to America. All Foreigners minus Dovellos. Invalid.
So it’s not all foreigners.
The word is he’s a chiller.
