Elevation Athletics Nab 17-18 Women’s 200 Free Relay NAG at Mt Hood Sectionals

2022 SPEEDO SECTIONALS – MT HOOD

  • July 14-17, 2022
  • Mount Hood, Oregon
  • Mt Hood CC Aquatic Center
  • LCM (50 meters)
  • Results on MeetMobile as “2022 Speedo Sectionals – Mt Hood”

Not only did Elevation Aquatics win the women’s 200 free relay win last night at Mt Hood, but they did it in record-breaking fashion, shaving 0.03s off a record that existed since 2013.

Indigo Armon led off in 26.70, Mary Codevilla split 25.52 on the next leg after winning the 100 free earlier in the session, then Karolina Bank (26.65) and Morgan Lukinac (25.47) brought it home for a total time of 1:44.34. That mark broke the previous NAG of 1:44.37, set by SwimMAC back in 2013.

Comparative Splits

Elevation, 2022 SwimMAC, 2013
Indigo Armon 26.70 Faith Johnson 25.10
Mary Codevilla 25.52 Maria Sheridan 26.86
Karolina Bank 26.65 Maija Roses 26.12
Morgan Lukinac 25.47 Lauren Rhodes 26.29
Total 1:44.34 Total 1:44.37

While no Elevation swimmer matched Faith Johnson’s leadoff time (which then ranked as the 2nd-fastest 50 free ever in the age group), the Elevation girls put together four solid legs, with Codevilla and Lukinac nearly matching each other with a pair of 25-mid splits.

All four of the Elevation women will be starting their collegiate swimming careers this fall. Armon will swim for Arizona State, Codevilla for Notre Dame, Bank for Mizzou, and Lukinac for Brown.

That same quartet owns the 17-18 NAG record in the 400 free relay, which they set at last summer’s Speedo Summer Championships in Irvine. They’ll get another crack at that relay today.

Sure would be nice see the 200 Free and 200 Medley Relays in the Olympics one day. Both of those races are so incredible to watch at NCAA’s.

That is funny – only team in USA swim to be strongly penalized for recruiting

Mad?

Or maybe it’s because the swimmers needed a change in their training and Elevation was the answer but who knows.

Dude, wrong place to air your grievance. I got to watch this swim live, congrats to these athletes!

This seems unnecessarily negative and slanderous—these girls deserve more praise and less hate

This sounds highly unlikely and I can’t find anything online to support this statement. Source?

Thanks Dick for the false statement! This is what happens when Toxic Coaches, Toxic Parents, and Toxic Swim Club board members loose swimmers to better programs. Hurts those coaches Ego’s and the bottom $ line when swimmers leave your toxic club! Great Job Girls! and Great Job EA coaching staff and ownership for a great program!
