16 year-old Michael Andrew lowered his own 15-16 National Age Group record in the 50 free tonight at the Austin Pro Series.

Despite swimming in a loaded A-final where most of the other competitors were a decade older than him, Andrew finished fourth with a 22.33. That mark just eclipsed his previous record, a 22.34 which he swam at the 2015 Speedo Junior National championships.

His time from tonight would already put him fifth all-time in the 17-18 age group, behind Caeleb Dressel (who holds the record with a 21.53 from this past summer), Vladimir Morozov, Paul Powers, and Santo Condorelli.

While the finals of the 50 free tend to feature swimmers older and more powerful than in most of the other events, this was Andrew’s first A-final of the meet. Last night he placed third in the B-final of the 100 fly, finishing about a second off his best time in that event.

Tomorrow, the last day of the meet, Andrew is entered in both the 100 breast and the 200 IM. He currently holds the NAG record in the 100 breast and he’s second all-time in the 200 IM for the age group, with his time of 1:59.86 only .02 behind Andrew Seliskar, who is also slated to compete in the event tomorrow.
