After shattering Michael Andrew‘s 100 back 13-14 NAG record yesterday with a 47.44, 14-year-old Daniel Diehl of Cumberland YMCA hit a lifetime best 44.00 today in the 100 free.
Taking a few tenths off of his old best (44.31), Diehl is closing fast on Andrew’s 100 free NAG record of 43.90 from 2014. Winning the event by seven seconds in the 13-14 division today, Diehl was out in 20.84 and came home in 23.16 on the back-half. While he wasn’t quite as fast as Andrew, he’s still one of just four 13-14s to ever go under 45 seconds, and he’s now over eight-tenths ahead of #3 in history, Ryan Hoffer.

Yesterday, in addition to his 100 back NAG record, Diehl went a lifetime best 20.38 to become the #5 performer in 13-14 history. Last weekend, Diehl broke the NAG record in the 200 free by a second-and-a-half, swimming 1:36.75.
Has anyone said that this kid is the real Diehl yet?
Yep, someone beat you to it last week 😉

The most absurd part of this story:
“… he’s still one of just four 13-14s to ever go under 45 seconds.”
Amazing that there are any at all.
This is good to see….
Considering how steep has been Diehl’s improvement curve (in the 100 yds free he swam 51.63 on Oct. 2018, and then his PB in the 2019 was 47.75, and now, Oct. 2020, is 44.00), his physical structure (perhaps the slimmest Nag record holder I’ve ever seen), his way of swimming (it looks a real swimming talent with an incredible “easy speed” ), really curious to see his results in the next years.
According to the times database, he only started swimming (for a USA Swimming team) at 12.
Diehl swims unattached b/c his team is small.
I am slow
Crazy to think that these NAG’s could be traded between between Heilman and diehl for a bit!
Diehl ages up very soon (I’m guessing by the end of the month) while Heilman still has more than a year left, still, both of them are great swimmers.
Heilman has almost TWO more years. He just turned 13
