Just two days after initially breaking the national high school record in the 50-yard free, Saugus High’s Abbey Weitzeil was at it again during finals of the CIF Southern Section Division 1 Championships.
During prelims, Weitzeil popped a time of 21.83 to initially lower her own mark. During finals, Weitzeil dropped the mark even lower with a 21.64.
She still hasn’t cleared her personal best of 21.49 set for Canyons Aquatics that ranks her sixth in the world, but she’s certainly made this high school record a lot tougher to catch up to.
All Time 50 Free
| Rank | Name | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lara Jackson | 21.27 |
| 2 | Simone Manuel | 21.32 |
| 3 | Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace | 21.34 |
| 4 | Natalie Coughlin | 21.46 |
| 5 | Liv Jensen | 21.48 |

Weitzeil also twice broke the 100-yard free during prelims with times of 47.53 and 47.42.
During finals, she lowered it again with a blistering 47.33.
She split that race 22.92, 47.33 (24.41).
She followed that up with a 47.09 leadoff for Saugus in the 400-yard free relay in her final high school swim.
She split that leadoff 22.66, 47.09 (24.43).
Again, she’s been much faster for Canyons Aquatics Club as she is the second-fastest swimmer all time in the 100-yard free.
