2023 Jeff Rouse Meet

  • January 7-8, 2023
  • Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center, Stafford, Virginia
  • Short Course Yards (25 yards), timed finals
  • Full Meet Results

Kyle Peck of the host Stingrays Swim Team broke a new LSC Record last weekend at the 2023 Jeff Rouse meet.

Peck, a 16-year-old high school junior, won the 100 back in 47.08 in a timed final swim. That broke his own 15-16 and overall LSC Record of 47.24 that was set last March at the LSC Championships.

He swam the two races pretty similarly, just a little faster in each piece.

Splits Comparison:

Kyle Peck Kyle Peck
New LSC Record Old LSC Record
1st 50 23.03 23.10
2nd 50 24.05 24.14
Final Time 47.08 47.24

The Virginia Swimming LSC isn’t home to the state’s densest concentration of swimmers in the DC suburbs (they compete in the PV LSC), but it is home to a growing pool of talent including Peck and Thomas Heilman, plus big names of the past like Townley Haas and Khalil Fonder.

In addition to his 100 back, Peck swam a personal best and won the 200 breaststroke at the meet, swimming a 2:09.52.

Peck is committed to Texas, and while a 2:09 in the 200 breast doesn’t make him as versatile as recent Texas recruits like Tim Connery or Anthony Grimm or Will Modglin or Nate Germonprez, it does move him further in that direction that the Longhorns prefer in their recruits.

As a hint for where Peck might be in his training: he swam 1:42.70 in the 200 free, which is about two-and-a-half seconds short of his personal best.

Peck is the defending Virginia Class 4 State Champion in the 100 back (48.13) and was the runner-up last year in the 100 fly (48.50). The 2022 championships will be held on February 18 at the Collegiate School Aquatics Centre in Richmond. That kicks off championship season, which this spring for the Stingrays includes the Virginia Senior Champs in early March and the NCSA Junior National Championships two weeks later.

I heard that many records were broken at a high school invite in ohio. State record held by Adam Chaney was taken down in finals. I think it was called The NE canton invite.

Does anyone ever wonder how LSC boundaries are set up? I’ve often wondered why they are set up the way they are..example, southern NJ is part of the Mid-Atlantic LSC and the rest of NJ is its own LSC. NJ isn’t that big of a state, why aren’t they one unified LSC?

CT is its own LSC and not part of the New England LSC…

Can anyone recall LSC’s over the years changing their boundaries or merging with other LSC’s?

Clearly, I don’t get out much if I ponder something like this!

Check out the Ozark and Missouri Valley LSCs in the Midwest. The Ozark LSC is basically just the St. Louis Metro area. The geographic area is more, but there aren’t teams in most of the area. While there are a decent number of teams in St. Louis, there definitely aren’t enough to warrant their own LSC. Missouri Valley is half of Missouri, Kansas, a sliver of Oklahoma, and a sliver of north Texas. The rumor I heard was that the St. Louis area didn’t send a rep to the meeting when the Missouri Valley LSC was formed so they were left out, but that could just be legend.

I don’t know the history or any “rules” on this – but it appears that large metro areas that cross state lines are often consolidated into a single LSC. Potomac Valley, for instance captures all of the DC metro area (VA, MD, DC). The rest of VA is in the VA LSC. The rest of MD is in the MD LSC. Per your example, Southern NJ is part of the Philly metro area. A multi-site mega-team like NCAP would be spread across multiple LSCs if every LSC was tied to a state.

Sounds like you could be the author, Braden.

You just did. Good summary. At one point there was a failed attempt to split the Arizona LSC, with Phoenix folks and Tucson folks having different views on life.

He may be the medley relay lead off of the future for Texas

Peck is a phenomenal swimmer and much credit to him — but in terms of favorites to be Texas’s relay leadoff . . . Will Modglin will be in the class right ahead of him and went a 45.01 100 back last month.
