Carmel Swim Club’s Drew Kibler just broke his 2nd 15-16 National Age Group Record in as many days at the 2016 U.S. Winter Junior Championships (East). Kibler rocked a 4:15.36 in tonight’s finals to break the record and win gold ahead of Baylor Swim Club’s 16-year-old Trey Freeman, who also swam one of the fastest 500 freestyles of all time in the 15-16 age group with his 4:16.99.

In breaking the record, Kibler dropped over 8 seconds off his previous best 4:23.82, which he swam at the 2016 USA College Challenge. This was the 2nd record Kibler took down this week, following his lightning fast 1:33.36 to set the 200 free NAG on the leadoff of the 800 free relay last night, which was a best time by 2 seconds.

Reece Whitley dropped a TON of time in that 2IM. Came in seeded at 1:47 and went a 1:43. Can’t wait to see his breaststroke races.
He is still only 16? I am impressed. Agree his BR swims should be interesting to watch.
Behind only MA for the nag
13 yo Gretchen Walsh went a 22.85 50fr. Thats good right?
