McFarland’s Blake TeBeest Drops 49.16 100 Back To Rank 11th All-Time In 13-14 Age Group

2023 Wisconsin LSC 11-14 Short Course Championships

McFarland Spartan Sharks swimmer Blake TeBeest had a sensational performance at the Wisconsin LSC 11-14 Short Course Championships in early March, picking up six victories and five new lifetime bests.

Highlighting TeBeest’s effort at the three-day competition in Pleasant Prairie was his performance in the 100 back, as the 14-year-old broke 50 seconds for the first time and did so decisively, clocking 49.16.

That swim launches TeBeest up into 11th all-time in the boys’ 13-14 age group, having previously ranked in the 90-95 range with his old best of 50.77.

Additionally, TeBeest rocketed to a time of 23.21 in the 50 back, which ranks him 12th all-time in the 13-14 age group.

He added best times in the 100 free (46.22), 200 free (1:42.67), and 200 back (1:52.58), with the 100 free swim tying him for 70th all-time in the age group.
