Elmbrook Swim Club won the women’s 400 medley relay tonight in a time of 4:06.93. With the swim, the squad of Maggie Wanezek (15), Lucy Thomas (15), Campbell Stoll (16), and Abby Wanezek (17) broke their 2nd 15-18 girls National Age Group Record of the week. In a time trial on Thursday, the same squad time trialed the women’s 200 medley relay, shattering that NAG.

Tonight, Elmbrook’s time of 4:06.93 blew away the previous NAG of 4:08.39, which was held by the Fort Collins Area Swim Team squad of Bayley Stewart, Zoe Bartel, Coleen Gillilan, and Kylee Alons from 2016.

Here are Elmbrook’s splits from tonight:

• Maggie Wanezek – 1:01.63
• Lucy Thomas – 1:09.79
• Campbell Stoll – 1:00.12
• Abby Wanezek – 55.39

Here is a comparison between Elmbrook’s relay tonight, and Fort Collins’ relay from 2016:

The fly splits for both teams were extremely similar, but Elmbrook was much faster on backstroke and freestyle, while Fort Collins was much faster on breaststroke.

Here is a comparison between Elmbrook’s splits from tonight versus each swimmer’s flat-start personal best:

When looking at the splits compared to each swimmer’s best time, Abby Wanezek really showed up for this relay, splitting 1.26 seconds faster than her flat-start best. Notably, the relay team’s flat-start personal bests add up to 4:06.08, faster than they actually swam in the relay tonight by 0.85 seconds.
