The high school season is already in full force, with Florida holding the first of its championship competitions last weekend. At the Class A level, the Bolles School made an early push toward capturing the Swimming World mythical national championship, thanks to several relays that produced swift times.
The scholastic season will stretch into the late spring, when California wraps up the championship campaign and, if history is any indicator, several high school national records will come under fire in the coming months. Among those to watch is Stanford commit Claire Curzan, the 2020 Olympian who could take down records in several events.
Now that the high school championship season has started, Swimming World is providing a reminder of the current national records. These performances must have been set during school competition, so times registered for a club team do not count.
The names of Olympic champions who continue to hold records are impressive, ranging from Ryan Murphy and Joseph Schooling at the Bolles School to Katie Ledecky, who represented Stone Ridge. Enjoy the look at the fastest high school times ever produced, and appreciate the work of these young athletes.
