The boys’ 200 medley relay from Zionsville High School in Zionsville, Indiana has broken the National Public High School Record in the 200 yard medley relay, swimming a 1:29.44 on Saturday at the Indiana State Championship meet.
The team of Tyler Harmon, Brock Brown, Andrew Schuler, and Jack Franzman combined to better the 1:29.64 done by Chesterton’s legendary 2014 relay that included future Olympian Blake Pieroni.
While that Chesterton relay was faster on each of the first 3 splits, Zionsville’s anchor Franzman, who would go on to win the 50 free in 20.00, made up the difference with a split more than a full-second better than Chesterton’s anchor.
