Swim: Crean Lutheran’s Ella Eastin sets U.S. national independent record

May 10th, 2013, 8:42 am by

Crean Lutheran sophomore swimmer Ella Eastin broke the U.S. national record for independent schools — or private schools — in the 200-yard individual medley Thursday night at the CIF-SS Division 3 finals in Riverside.

Eastin blazed a lifetime-best and Orange County record time of 1 minute, 55.15 seconds, which breaks the national independent high school record, according to Swimming World’s updated high school records. The previous record was a 1:56.31 set earlier this year by Kaitlyn Jones of Delaware.

The overall high school record — public or private — is a 1:53.82 set by Dagny Knutson in 2009 for public school Minot in North Dakota.

Here’s a video of Eastin’s 200 IM on Thursday night and her post-race interview:
