University of Texas commit Mena Boardman took on a daunting schedule at the Oregon Swimming Senior Championships in Beaverton earlier this month and performed incredibly, headlined by her standout swim in the 100 butterfly.
The 16-year-old, who was competing unattached, set a best time of 51.11 in the prelims of the 100 fly before getting down to 50.93 in the final, moving her up to #4 all-time in the girls’ 15-16 age group.
Coming into the meet, Boardman held a lifetime best of 51.32, set at the Eastern Interscholastic Championships in February.
Relative to that swim last month, Boardman had much more front-end speed in the prelims, but in the final, it was her back half that made the difference.
Split Comparison

| 51.32 (27.47) | 51.11 (27.67) | 50.93 (27.16) |
She joins Claire Curzan, Charlotte Crush, Alex Shackell and Leah Shackley as girls in the 15-16 age group who have broken 51 seconds in the 100 fly.

Boardman also set a new best time in the 50 free, clocking 22.05 to rank 12th all-time in the 15-16 age group. She set her previous PB of 22.22 in March 2024.
Boardman also won the 100 free (49.99), 200 free (1:48.02), 50 back (25.02), 200 back (1:56.20), 50 breast (29.13), 50 fly (23.15) and 200 IM (2:02.61) at the meet, setting best times in all but the 100 free, 50 back and 200 IM.
In the 200 back, she now ranks 19th this season in the 15-16 age group, while in the 200 free, she ranks 24th. And in the 50 fly, although it’s not an event consistently raced by swimmers in the age group, Boardman ranks #1 this season.
She is set to join the Longhorns in the fall of 2026.
She and Eva Okaro are great pick-ups for Texas in the sprint events, which is an area the team could use some help in
Guessing they’ll also have a similar event lineup of 50 free/100 free/100 fly
Can’t believe that’s only 4, that’s incredible!!
That would have made an A final at NCAAs… so many fast young women coming up.
Next few years it will take 49 to make the A.
