17 year old Thomas Heilman swam to a new 17-18 National Age Group (NAG) record in the boys 100 butterfly in prelims. Heilman touched in a 44.55, breaking the previous record of a 44.75 that Aiden Hayes swam at the 2022 NCAA Championships while in his freshman season with NC State.

Heilman also broke his own meet record of a 44.67 that he swam two years ago. He also won the event a year ago but was slightly off his record in a 44.80.

Split Comparison:

Hayes was out slightly faster than Heilman but Heilman had a much faster back half to get under the record. He will have the chance to improve upon his record in finals.

The swim marks the first 17-18 SCY NAG record for Heilman after dominating the 15-16 age group. He earned a total of five 15-16 SCY NAG records He already broke into the 17-18 age group this summer, setting a new NAG record in the 100 butterfly. The Virginia commit has another year in the 17-18 age group.
