Race Videos: Watch Reece Whitley, Brett Feyerick Set NAGs at NCAP Invite
A pair of U.S. National Age Group records fell tonight at the NCAP Invite, live on Swimming World.
Reece Whitley Breaks 15-16 200 Breast NAG:
Just a day after missing out on the 100-yard breaststroke 15-16 U.S. National Age Group record by hours, Penn Charter’s Reece Whitley broke the 15-16 NAG in the 200-yard breaststroke at the 2015 NCAP Invitational.
Whitley put up a time of 1:53.66 during finals tonight in Maryland to break Andrew Seliskar’s previous mark of 1:54.87.
At the 2013 NCSA Junior Nationals, a 16-year-old Seliskar crushed the 15-16 U.S. National Age Group record of 1:56.46 set by current Indiana Hoosier Cody Miller back in 2008.
When splits are made available, we will update this article.

Brett Feyerick Breaks 11-12 50 Back NAG:
Just a few heats after Reece Whitley lowered the 15-16 U.S. National Age Group mark in the 200-yard breast, Brett Feyerick took down the 11-12 U.S. National Age Group mark in the 50-yard backstroke at the NCAP Invite.
Feyerick posted a top time of 24.22 for the win, breaking the previous mark of 24.32 set by New Jersey’s Vinny Marciano a year ago.
Marciano set his time at the 2014 NASA Showcase Classic in Florida. That swim broke the previous time set by Destin Lasco of 24.56. Those two traded the NAG back and forth back in 2014.
