Rex Maurer Breaks Down Flu, Nat’l HS Record, and the Upcoming CIF Championships

Just days before his last CIF Championships (and high school meet) ever, Loyola senior Rex Maurer sat down with SwimSwam to give an insider’s look at his last two weeks. Last Friday at the CIF-SS champs, after contracting the flu and being bed-ridden for 2+ days, Maurer clocked a personal best in the 200 free (1:33.57) while winning the 500 free in 4:12.70, a new national high school record. Maurer looks to carry his momentum into this week’s CIF Champs, where Loyola is seeded to win the meet and repeat as champions.
