Two nights into Summer Junior Nationals in Irvine, two meet records have gone down each night. In addition to a meet record, the Lakeside Swim Team boys 4×200 free relay also broke the 15-18 National Age Group (NAG) Record as Lakeside finished in a 7:21.43.

Tonight’s relay by Lakeside of Maximus Williamson, Cooper Lucas, River Paulk, and Max Hatcher swam to a final time of 7:21.43, breaking the previous record of a 7:22.13 set by SwimMAC’s Tim Connery, Logan Zucker, Jacob Wimberly, and Baylor Nelson back in 2021.

Lakeside also smashed the old Summer Juniors meet record set by Longhorn Aquatics back in 2022. That record stood at a 7:25.36.

Split Comparison:

The biggest standout swim tonight was from 16 year old Maximus Williamson who led Lakeside’s relay off in a 1:47.29. That broke Williamson’s own 15-16 NAG record of a 1:47.62 that he set at the end of June at US Nationals.

Cooper Lucas also had a huge flying start split for Lakeside tonight as he swam a 1:48.95. That is around his best time of a 1:48.73 which he swam at US Nationals.
