Cassidy Bayer continued her relentless assault on the MVP record books, knocking off four records, and Andrei Zaitsev added his name to the record rolls by breaking a record dating from 1996.
Andrei swam a 39.55, taking Nick Magallanes's mark of 40.17 down by 0.62 seconds. Of the 24 individual boys records, 10 of them have been set this Century.
Cassidy hit her grand slam in fine fashion, starting by knocking off a 37 year old record from the Bicentennial Year of 1976, when Kim Nedbal swam a 28.80 in the 13-14 girls 50 free. Cassidy beat it by 1.49 seconds with a 27.31. Only one girls record remains from last Century -- Erin Deal's 8 & under 25 meter breaststroke mark from 1985 -- but that's so last Millenium!
Cassidy then beat three records set this Century by current Gators -- knocking 2.05 seconds off Sara Bertram's backstroke mark from 2010. Cassidy swam a 30.94. She set her first team breaststroke record ever, swimming a 37.16 mark to beat Jayne Orleans' nearly two year old record by 0.82 seconds. Cassidy finished her rampage through the 13-14 girls team marks by lowering Sara Bertrams 2010 Individual Medley record of 1:10.29 by an amazing 3.24 seconds with a time of 1:07.05.
Cassidy now holds 14 Gator team individual records, with more to come. All four marks are faster than the current Gator girls 15-18 records. By the way, Cassidy's 13-14 backstroke and IM records are faster than the 13-14 Gator boys record holders.
Congratulations to both Andrei and Cassidy!
