Rockville Montgomery Lowers Three Mixed Free Relay NAG Records At Maryland State Champs

Apr 22, 2023

The Rockville Montgomery Swim Club (RMSC) took down a trio of National Age Group relay records relays at the Maryland State Long Course Championships over the weekend, doing so in the mixed free events across three different age groups.

In the 10 and under age group, the team broke its own record from last year (with four different swimmers). The quartet of Clara Yun, Nickolas Nishnianidze, Giselle Quach and Brian Sunjaya produced a time of 2:07.63, lowering the previous mark of 2:08.52 set by RMSC in 2022.

RMSC's ‘B’ team of Noah Nedd, Caroline McConnell, Alexander Romero-Zermeno and Sara Young also neared the old record, clocking 2:10.02.

In the mixed 200 medley relay, RMSC's team of Quach, Sunjaya, McConnell and Nedd clocked 2:23.46, within two seconds of the current NAG of 2:21.76 set by Irvine Novaquatics in 2021.

The record in the 11-12 age group fell by nearly three seconds, as RMSC's Izabella Mason (29.28), Marion Hooker (28.37), Jeremiah Germosen (26.02) and Rafael Fontana (26.81) rocketed to a time of 1:50.48, erasing DART Swimming's 2021 mark of 1:53.21.

The DART Swimming team consisted of Andrew Yuzon, Isaac Carsel, Mikayla Tan and Elizabeth Johnson, set at the 2021 CC Summer Slam Tri Meets (splits are unavailable).

RMSC's ‘B’ team nearly got under the previous record as well, putting up a time of 1:53.39 with a team consisting of Harper Bartholomew, Dylan Pino, Seine Lee and Natalie McCarty.

Split Comparison – 11-12 NAG Record

Jeremiah Germosen, Rafael Fontana, Izabella Mason and Marion Hooker.

RMSC's quartet of Alexander Jungbluth (25.28), Jonah Ginsburg (24.24), Anika Cai (28.58) and Gabrielle Day (27.84) combined for a time of 1:45.94 in the 13-14 age group, lowering the old NAG of 1:47.66 set by DART in 2021.

That DART team consisted of Angelina Valle, Adelia Biello, Brandon Ha and Remo Mann (splits unavailable). Their time stood as the official NAG record, though USA Swimming lists a 1:47.06 mark from Elmbrook Swim Club in 2017 as the record, which was before USA Swimming began recognizing mixed relay NAGs in September 2018.

That Elmbrook team consisted of Ido Korabelnikov, Kaylyn Schoof, Reilly Tiltmann and Michael Linnihan (splits unavailable).
