KING Aquatic Club’s Ethan Dang broke the National Age Group record for 11-12 year olds on Saturday night at the Mark Prothero Invitational in Federal Way, Washington.
The 12-year-old Dang went 2:29.01 to take just over a second off the mark set by Sean Mahoney back in 2001. The splits for Dang are below:
- 33.89
- 38.11
- 38.73
- 38.28
- 2:29.01
That’s remarkable consistency over the final three 50s for Dang, who owns the 100 breast record one age group down.
Mahoney’s old record was 2:30.12
Full results of the meet are available on Meet Mobile under “2014 1st Annual Mark Prothero Invitational.”
There goes my chance for National Champion. 🙁
I’m talking about the 100m record, by the way.
He will definitely break the record at the PNS Long Course Champs!
What I find funny is that his breaststroke is faster than my freestyle.
Ethan is not very tall. Maybe 5′ 4″. Excellent technique, great DPS and very good underwaters.
Anyone know how tall Ethan is?
Ethan is 5′ 3″
1:09.49 tonight, missed the record in the 100 by .07
Typo….Missed the 100 Meter Record by .01
I don’t think he has that much speed yet… his body is not that mature yet.
Not much speed yet? Taking down the 11-12 NAG record is not fast? Or do you mean he has a lot more potential because he’s not physically mature like most 12 yr olds?
