On Sunday, the Aquatic Team of Mecklenburg (ATOM) registered the top time the season in the mixed 200 free relay. Their swim of 1:39.67 also cracked the USA Swimming 15-16 national age group benchmark of 1:41.68 and the 17-18 benchmark of 1:40.25.

ATOM’s team of Lindsay Flynn, Teresa Ivan, Austin Lockhart and Garrett Boone clocked a 1:39.67 in a time trial at the 2019 North Carolina Swimming Long Course Senior Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Sunday.

Flynn got things started with a 26.17 on the opening leg, while Ivan followed with a 26.33. Lockhart clocked a 23.66 and Boone brought it home with a 23.51 on the anchor leg.

Splits:

All NAG times must be ratified, but according to the USA Swimming times database, ATOM has the top time this year across all age groups. The relay put up the top time in spite of using a female-female-male-male order instead of the conventional male-male-female-female order that most free relays globally use.

The relay is also under the USA Swimming-recognized 15-18 record, which was set by Canton City Schools earlier this year in 1:40.25.
