MARKB- no need for the obnoxious commentary, thank you very much. I said that as sort of a comparison to the Phelps 13-14 record.
Pretty good qualify of times for a meet like that, one week after the official US junior nationals.
PVK was right to mention 15-year-old Samuel Pomajevich.
His 200 fly PB was 2.07.15 before the meet!
He won in 2.00.23! 😯
Too bad he wasn’t 14. 😉
Impressive performance!
Good result for Emily Meilus in the 200 back in 2.13.
I was surprised to not see her last week against the best US juniors in Irvine.
I remark the NCAP swimmers improve their times a lot at this meet.
Much more than at US nationals, at least for day 1.
Andrew Gemmell has broken his PB in the 1500 free but Hirschberger, Rongione, Byrne,… Read more »

Sam Pomajevich is coming off his freshman year of high school!! And already at a 2:00.2 in the 2 fly! Would have been 2nd all time for 13-14’s if he wasn’t 15.
And it would have crushed the 11 – 12 NAG if he wasn’t 15 – not to mention just killing the 9 – 10 record.
I know. That was a fairly strange remark to have made
It’s one of the greatest comments ever on swimswam!
I believe I’m going to laugh all day 😆
I’m confused. Maybe I’m a bit late to the party, but how is this meet different than the one that happened in Irvine last week? Why would a team scholar to send its swimmers here rather than to that?
Slower QTs, A-D final heats, central location. It’s a much more viable team travel option for a lot of east coast teams.
