The Triangle Aquatic Center was rocking on Saturday as five North Carolina state records went down. Even more, we saw a National Age Group record go down as well.

The 10&U ladies of TAC Titans toppled the NAG record in the 200m medley relay with a blistering time of 2:18.71 -- taking down Ohio State Swim Club's 2014 mark of 2:19.25. The quartet of Lilly Ann Willis (10), Nicole Zettel (10), Taylor Cureton (10), and Meredith Whelehan (10) blew away the field by over 13 seconds. Check out their splits below:

Willis (backstroke) -- 34.93
