Record Smashers - Northbrook Swimming
Another one bites the dust! The 100 free time of 50.06 from 1985 will be disappearing this year. Gadiel swam it tonight in 49.85. Not only that, but the boys 200 free relay that broke the record already this year broke it again tonight! Their new time is 1:47.94. Way to go guys! pic.twitter.com/zLMu84Jo8a

The 200-yard freestyle relay snapped their record, which was set earlier this year swimming it in 1:47.94.
