The Haverford School’s Alessandro (Alex) Boratto, a Stanford University commit, broke the National Independent School Record in the SCM 100 backstroke earlier today in a championship meet against Episcopal Academy. (You can read more about that here.)
Boratto swam a 54.54, which erased 1.14 seconds from the mark of 55.68 set by Zach Althoff of the Baylor School on November 15, 2017. Out in 26.47, Boratto came home in 28.07.

Fantastic swim. Mid-Atlantic Swimming is a haven for backstrokers these days…would be great to see Burns, Lasco and Boratto swim against each other.

It was a great swim, that bit at the end was my favorite part. LOL!
