Baylor School’s Trey Freeman successfully defended his state title tonight in the 200 free, unleashing a 1:33.06 to set a new national high school record.
SPLITS
FREEMAN 2018
- 21.58 – 45.22 (23.64) – 1:09.17 (23.95) – 1:33.06 (23.89)
SHOULTS 2016
- 22.00 – 45.65 (23.65) – 1:09.46 (23.81) – 1:33.26 (23.80)
Freeman was incredibly consistent, going out in 21.5 and holding 23’s the rest of the way. His 45.22 going out was met with a 47.84 back end, which just gets him under Grant Shoults‘ 200 free national high school record of 1:33.26. Shoults swam that time in May of 2016, when he went 4:12.87 to also set the 500 free national overall record.
His time also makes him the 2nd-fastest 17-18 year old in U.S. history. Maxime Rooney‘s 1:32.18 leads the way, and Freeman’s 1:33.06 puts him just ahead of Tom Kremer’s 1:33.07 from 2013.
Freeman is also ahead of the national public high school record. That time is a 1:33.30, set one year ago by Carmel’s Drew Kibler. Since Freeman attends a private school, however, the national public high school record still belongs to Kibler, who will get a crack at the overall record later this month at the Indiana high school state championships.
Jeebus, look at that opening 50 split :o. When I was a high schooler, a 21.58 50 free would get you All American status and a full ride at a DI “Power Five Conference” university. This kid does it to a flip turn, then lays three more 23-second 50’s on top of it. Outstanding!
Amazing swim and 100 split. When I was in high school(back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) a 45 sec 100 free was my school record. Times have changed!
Geez! 33 is the new 40!
Nice swim… Can’t wait to see what he goes in the 500 tomorrow.
More like phenomenal swim. 1:33.0 at 18? Doesn’t get much better than that.
1:33 is quite spectacular, the event has gotten so much faster over these past few years. especially since at junior nationals last year (2017) Carson Foster went 1:33 when he had just turned 16.
Both foster kids are going where ever they want. They are so fast
And Jack Walker dropped a 1:33 at 15.
A 1:32.18
Hey, I didn’t say it was the fastest swim by an 18 year old. But come on, who can go faster than that right now at that age? He’s number 1!
Wow 1:33 keeps on getting reached by everyone. 1:29 this year
I wonder who will it be?
Farris
I think Farris will beat Townley
Dressel.
Holy crap, that’s fast.
Ehhh its ok. Nothing to write home about.
Did you go 1:33 In the 200 free as an 18 year old? Because 2nd fastest 18 year old ever is pretty good if you ask me. Give him some credit. Nobody goes that fast as an 18 yr old
its called sarcasm lol
Has he committed to any school?
Gators with Rooney
