Jersey Flyers Aquatic Club 16-year-old Roman Jones popped a new personal best of 46.24 in a time trial this afternoon at the Speedo Sectionals meet in Ithaca. The swim came after swimming the event in a tough double last night. He swam the 100 fly and 100 back back-to-back in finals last night, clocking a new personal best of 46.30 in the 100 fly, but swimming a 52.50 in the 100 back after.
A Cal recruit, Jones’ 100 back now ties him for #5 all-time in the 15-16 boys age group. He was previously ranked #12 with his previous top time of 46.91 that was swum earlier this month. Here is the updated all-time top 5 in the 15-16 boys SCY 100 back:
| Rank | Time | Swimmer | Meet |
| 1 | 45.60 | Anthony Grimm | 2019 NCSA Spring Championship |
| 2 | 45.66 | Luca Urlando | 2018 Winter Junior Nats – West |
| 3 | 45.93 | Destin Lasco | 2018 MA YY Middle Atlantic SC Senior Championship |
| 4 | 46.06 | Jack Abrams | |
| 5 | 46.24 | Roman Jones | 2022 Speedo Sectionals – Ithaca |
| 5 | 46.24 | Brendan Burns | 2018 NC AP YMCA SCY Nationals |
Additionally, Jones’ 46.30 100 fly from yesterday puts him 7th all-time in the 15-16 age group. We’ll keep an eye on him later in tonight’s finals session as well, as he swam a personal best of 20.43 in the 50 free this morning. It’s also worth mentioning that Jones posted a very speedy 20.72 fly split on JFAC’s 200 medley relay on Friday night.
What about Will modglin 45.9?
I think Will is 17 yrs old
Versatile recruit for Cal!
A top backstroker going to Cal?
Nah, doesn’t sound right.
Grimm went in prelims 45.44, nearly 3 years after swimming 45.60, 0.16 of the second drop.
In the SwimSwam article about Luca Urlando being the only swimmer under 44 in both the 100 fly and back they list the top combined times for the top 100 guys all time. With the times Jones but up this weekend it looks like he ties for 94th now. Not bad for a 16 year old junior.
