Michael Andrew certainly kicked off the 2015 USA Swimming Winter Junior Championships West today in a strong way with a 15-16 National Age Group Record in the men’s 200-yard IM.
Andrew lit up the prelims with a time of 1:43.94. That swim lowered the previous National Age Group mark of 1:44.03 set by Andrew Seliskar back in 2013. Seliskar had crushed the previous record of 1:45.17 set by Gunnar Bentz in 2012.
Andrew’s splits:
21.84, 25.89, 30.24, 25.97
Seliskar’s splits:
23.01, 26.20, 29.25, 25.57
Bentz’s splits:
22.70, 26.81, 30.53, 25.13
Incidentally, Andrew smoked Ryan Murphy’s meet record of 1:45.77 set for Bolles back in 2011.
That’s Andrew’s second 15-16 short course yard NAG as he also set the 100-yard fly earlier this year with a 46.36.

I just hope he’s happy. Seems like SO much pressure for him, and it’s only going to increase.
Unfortunately he will snap one day and do some crazy stuff when he gets away from his Dad finally. He has been sheltered his whole life so far.
They think Phelps smoking weed and drink driving is bad. You just wait.
