The 2018 meet record of 53.42 in the boys’ 100 breast was taken down by Tualatin Hill’s Caspar Corbeau with a 52.91. Corbeau held the record alongside Daniel Roy, who both tied in the event last year. Runner-up Kevin Houseman (Bainbridge Island) also went under the meet record with a 53.09. Corbeau and Houseman’s personal best times now rank #21 and #28 on the 17-18 all-time rankings.

Finishing a sweep of the breaststroke events was Kaitlyn Dobler (The Dolphins Portland Swimming), who won the 100 breast with a 1:00.17. After just turning 17, she is now #55 on the 17-18 ranks. However, her PB of 59.17, from when she was 15 years old, would put her at #11 all-time. Lydia Jacoby (Seward Tsunami) took second with a 1:00.42, which is #18 for 15-16 age group. Her previous PB was 1:02.68, dropping more than 2 full seconds to make the top 20 rankings.
