Ethan Dang takes down 11-12 NAG in 200 breast with 2:29.01

KING Aquatic Club’s Ethan Dang broke the National Age Group record for 11-12 year olds on Saturday night at the Mark Prothero Invitational in Federal Way, Washington.

The 12-year-old Dang went 2:29.01 to take just over a second off the mark set by Sean Mahoney back in 2001. The splits for Dang are below:

  • 33.89
  • 38.11
  • 38.73
  • 38.28
  • 2:29.01

That’s remarkable consistency over the final three 50s for Dang, who owns the 100 breast record one age group down.

Mahoney’s old record was 2:30.12

Full results of the meet are available on Meet Mobile under “2014 1st Annual Mark Prothero Invitational.”

He will definitely break the record at the PNS Long Course Champs!

What I find funny is that his breaststroke is faster than my freestyle.

Ethan is not very tall. Maybe 5′ 4″. Excellent technique, great DPS and very good underwaters.

I don’t think he has that much speed yet… his body is not that mature yet.

Not much speed yet? Taking down the 11-12 NAG record is not fast? Or do you mean he has a lot more potential because he’s not physically mature like most 12 yr olds?
