Kicking off the first session of the meet, the squad of Emma Muzzy (16), Caroline Kulp (16), Olivia Bray (15), and Whittney Hamilton (15) eclipsed SwimMAC Carolina's previous women's 15-16 NAG Record of 1:39.61 in the 200 medley relay from 2013 with a swift 1:39.21. SwimMAC's 2013 relay included someone by the name of Kathleen Baker. You may have heard of her…

Here are the comparative splits:
