Claire Tuggle stole the show on night three of the 2018 NCSA Junior National Championships in Orlando, Fla.
The 13-year-old from Clovis Swim Club cruised to first place in the women’s 200 free, stopping the clock in a blistering 1:44.96. That time is the 39th fastest time swum this year in any age group.
Her swim ranks her second all-time for the 13-14 age group behind Missy Franklin’s 1:44.55 set back in 2010. Tuggle, who only turned 13 in mid-July, will still have plenty of time to chase down that record.
Tuggle is the current NAG record holder in both the 10 & Under and 11-12 200 and 500 free, as well as the 11-12 200 IM for short course. In long course, she holds the marks for 10 & Under 400 free and 11-12 200 and 400 free.
Saw her break the 11-12 LCM 200 free. It was an incredible swim!
Time?
Nathan Balsillie It was a 2:02 low, I believe. My daughter was swimming the same event in the same lane and following heat at the meet (Clovis Summer Slam). She got a front row seat!
EVERYONE in the stands was cheering for Claire, regardless of their team. It was a cool moment.
Just looked it up on Meet Mobile. 2:02.21
Wow, great job!

Non è vero. Il record mondiale è di Federica Pellegrini con 1.52.98 in vasca lunga, in vasca corta il record mondiale e di Sara Sjöström.
Si intendono yards non metri
Ok. Ma non era specificato. Comunque ,il nuoto americano ha tutta la mia ammirazione.
