Andrew Rogers of the Arkansas Dolphins has broken the 10 & under National Age Group Record in the 100 yard butterfly. Rogers swam a 59.44 in a time trial of the event on Friday night at the Arkansas Short Course State Championships on the UALR campus.

That broke his own record of 59.66 that was done in January, which in turn broke his record of 59.81 done in December.

In 1992, Zach Ferguson became the first 10 & under to break a minute in this event, and it took 22 years for his record to go down – but now Rogers has done so three times in three months.

Rogers is coached by Tay Stratton with assistance from Evan Johnston. The meet will run through Sunday.

Why would anyone hit thumbs down reply on Socalswimmom comment above. Andrew had an incredible swim – breaking a long withstanding NAG record. CONGRATS- and all thumbs up for this upcoming superstar. I guess the thumb down reply are the negative ( or maybe should I say the jealous ones.

Elsewhere in USA, another young swimming phenom is in action at Middle Atlantic junior olympics. I talk of course about my favorite US age grouper on the boys’ side, 13-year-old Destin Lasco.
He began in a great way his meet with a lot of best times.
100 fly. Pre-meet PB: 54.92 Won the final in 52.50
200 IM. Pre-meet PB: 1.57.35 Won the final in 1.54.18
500 free, an off-event for him. Pre-meet PB: 4.56.73 Was second in final in 4.40.99

Nice job. Maybe this kid could actually go under 50 in his lifetime. Unlike the previous NAG record holder…
