Outside of an early October intrasquad, 2025 World Junior champion Audrey Derivaux raced for the first time in the 2025-26 season in mid-November at the Jersey Wahoos Thanksgiving ABBC Meet, setting one nation-leading time and four others that rank in the top 10 this season in her age group.

The 16-year-old, who announced her commitment to the University of Texas one day after the meet concluded, put up a time of 1:51.97 in the 200 back, ranking her #1 in the country this season in the girls’ 15-16 age group, sitting more than two seconds ahead of Schroeder Swim Team’s Maggie Dickinson (1:54.04).

Derivaux’s personal best of 1:50.91, set last December, ranks her 9th all-time in the 15-16 age group.

In addition to the 200 back, Derivaux also clocked 1:54.95 in the 200 fly, ranking her 2nd in the nation this season in the girls’ 15-16 age group, while her swims in the 100 fly (53.25) and 200 IM (1:58.85) both rank 5th, and her 200 free showing of 1:47.09 ranks 10th. In the 200 breast, she was eight-tenths shy of her lifetime best in 2:16.54 to rank 22nd in the nation this season.

Another standout at the meet was Derivaux’s Jersey Wahoos teammate Alex Goodman, also 16, who set four new best times and moved into the top 10 this season in the boys’ 15-16 age group in four events.

Goodman set a new best time of 48.32 in the 100 fly, ranking him 9th this season in the age group, while his PBs in the 200 back (1:47.84) and 200 IM (1:49.28) both rank 10th. He also set a best of 1:38.85 in the 200 free to tie for 17th among 15-16 boys this season.

In the 200 fly, he clocked 1:48.35, good for 9th in the age group this season, with his lifetime best of 1:46.40, set last season, ranking him 63rd all-time in the age group.
