Dave Bell contributoed to this report.

James Zenyuh, 41, has broken the USMS 40-44 American Record in the 50-yard butterfly.

Swimming on April 14, 2018 at the Colonies Zone Championship Meet at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA, he swam a 22.60 that eclipsed the 2009 record set by Mike Ross by 0.01.  Zenyuh also posted several other highly-ranked USMS 40-44 all-time swims at the meet:  23.25 50 back (#2),  51.25 100 back (#3), and 50.75 100 fly (#5).

Zenyuh represents Riptide Masters out of Chantilly, VA and did his collegiate swimming for Harvard.  (The winner of the race in the video was Lucas Bureau, 23, who swam a 21.95.)

Braden – please note there is no such thing as an American Record in masters. They are National Records. Any swimmer of any nationality may set a record – they just have to be a registered USMS member (i.e. there is no proof of USA citizenship).

The word “alumni” used as a singular noun in Swimswam comments again. It burns! It burns!
