Both of the 200 butterfly US Summer Junior National meet records have gone down tonight in Irvine as Aaron Shackell swam a 1:56.07, breaking the old meet record of 1:56.54 set by Andrew Seliskar back in 2013.

The 18 year old Shackell was just off of his best time that he swam last summer at Junior Pan Pacs. There he won the event in a 1:55.81.

Split Comparison:

Summer Jnats 2023 Jr Pan Pacs
Summer Jnats 2022
50 26.14 26.08 26.29
100 29.1 29.51 29.88
150 29.99 29.88 30.79
200 30.84 30.34 30.46
1:56.07 1:55.81 1:57.42

As seen in his splits, the key for Shackell has been keeping the first three 50s under the 30 mark. Tonight’s swim was third fastest ever. In addition to his Junior Pan Pac swim being faster, he swam a 1:55.92 to finish 9th in the event at

Although he was just off of his best here, more importantly, Shackell was faster here this year than he was at this meet last year. Just like last year where he went from Junior Nationals to representing the US at Junior Pan Pacs, Shackell was named to the US roster headed to Dublin, Ireland to swim at the U23 European Championships from August 11-13.
