In a Saturday afternoon Time Trial at the Ohio Senior Championships, a quartet from Central Ohio Aquatics broke the 15-16 boys’ National Age Group Record in the 200 yard free relay.

Austin Carpenter, Jake Lloyd, Alex Wu, and Brad King combined for a 1:21.75. That broke the old record of 1:22.10 that was set in 2021 by a team from Rose Bowl Aquatics that included big names like Ronald Dalmacio and Rex Maurer.

That group of Rose Bowl swimmers broke all three 15-16 records in free relays in 2021.

Splits Comparison:

	New Record	Old Record
	Central Ohio Aquatics	Rose Bowl Aquatics
50y	Austin Carpenter – 20.17	Ronald Dalmacio – 21.04
100y	Jacob Lloyd – 20.12	William Kim – 20.37
150y	Alex Wu – 20.64	Zach Larrick – 20.68
200y	Brad King – 20.82	Rex Maurer – 20.01
	1:21.75	1:22.10

The big split for COA was Alex Wu on the 3rd leg. His flat-start best, from December, is 21.72, and he split 1.08 seconds better than that on this relay. The anchor King also undercut his pre-meet flat-start best by .75 seconds – though he has swum a best time this weekend, going 21.19.

Last weekend, Carpenter was the Ohio High School Division I State Champion in the 100 breaststroke and Lloyd won the 50 free.
