Last night at the 2020 Cary Sectionals in North Carolina, a quartet of TAC Titans 16-year-olds took down the 15-16 boys NAG record in the 800 free relay.
The team of Michael Cotter, Lance Norris, David Greeley and Braeden Haughey combined for a 6:36.61 to win the race by almost five seconds and break the record of 6:38.07 set by DART in 2018 at the Winter Junior Championships – West. DART’s record featured a lead-off from Luca Urlando, who was 1:34.38 to really carry that relay.
SPLIT COMPARISONS
| DART, 2018 | TAC TITANS, 2020 |
| Luca Urlando – 1:34.38 | Michael Cotter – 1:37.18 |
| Connor Daniels – 1:38.08 | Lance Norris – 1:39.99 |
| Tate Cutler – 1:42.71 | David Greeley – 1:41.65 |
| Christopher Ranlett – 1:42.90 | Braeden Haughey – 1:37.79 |
| 6:38.07 | 6:36.61 |
While Urlando and Daniels had a great front-half for DART, Cotter and Haughey were strong bookends and the relay was more consistent overall. Cotter had the best lead-off in the field in Cary.
On DART’s relay, Cutler and Ranlett were just 15.
This swim came in the same session as Haughey and Norris going 1-2 in the 1000 free. Haughey won it in 9:05.39 with Norris clocking a 9:07.39, both dropping big time after coming in with matching 9:15’s.
Congratulations!
Is that Siobhan Haughey’s brother? Incredible to see a team that has 3 (almost 4) junior swimmers go sub 1:40.
It is not.
