2025 Austin Swim Club Spring Showcase
May 16-18, 2025 Austin Aquatics and Sports Academy, Austin, Texas Long Course Meters (50 meters), Timed Finals Full Meet Results (PDF)A quartet from Waterloo Swimming in Austin, Texas has broken the 15-16 National Age Group Record in the 200 medley relay.
The team of Ben Jaggers (16), Joshua Carmichael (15), Harrison Tater (16), and Julian Rusk (16) combined for a 1:44.53. That time undercut the old record of 1:44.60 that was set more than a decade ago by the King Aquatic Club.
Record-Setting Relays Comparison
Waterloo Swimming King Aquatic Club New 15-16 Record Old 15-16 Record Backstroke Ben Jaggers – 26.16 Thomas Anderson – 26.18 Breaststroke Joshua Carmichael – 29.38 Josh Maclurg – 30.60 Butterfly Harrison Tater – 25.30 Mathias Oh – 24.39 Freestyle Julian Rusk – 23.69 Tommy Thach – 23.43 1:44.53 1:44.60Carmichael’s breaststroke split was the big differentiator for this relay, as he bit 1.24 seconds out of the old record by himself. Individually, he also swam a new personal best in the 100 meter breaststroke of 1:07.17 – dropping 1.3 seconds off his previous personal best.
The group is coached by Will Trusler, and this is the club’s first-ever National Age Group Record since being founded in 2010. They also swam the #6 200 meter free relay in age group history (1:35.66). Trusler says that the relay will all still be in the 15-16 age group in June and they will take a stab at the records in the 400 meter relays.
Trusler added that the age group is a deep one for Waterloo, and they’ve used about 7 different boys interchangeably over the last year – including just-missing the 200 yard medley relay record earlier this season with a different lineup.
Other Highlights Swims from This Group:
Jaggers the backstroker posted a best time of 59.68 in the 100 fly, dropping 2.5 seconds off his best. That follows a five second improvement in the 100 yard fly during the short course season. Carmichael dropped ten-and-a-half seconds off his best time in the 200 IM, finishing 2nd in 2:10.73. The Butterflier Tater posted several personal bests at the meet, including notably a 24.43 for 4th place in the 50 free.
