Wilson York shined in Louisville at the Jack Thompson Invite, blasting several lifetime bests and delivering one of the fastest 100 breaststrokes ever in the 15-16 national age group.
York, a 2028 Cal commit, blasted a 53.35 100 breast, one of four wins at the meet, and moved up to 17th all-time in the 15-16 national age group rankings. He came into this meet with a career best 53.56 from the Speedo Southern Premier in March, which would sit 24th ever in the NAG rankings today.
In addition to that tantalizing swim, York picked up the win in the 200 breast in 1:57.70, the 50 breast victory in 25.21, and added one more win in the 500 free, touching a best time of 4:29.48.
York also pulled out a few other solid best times, including the 100 free (47.22), 200 free (1:40.65), 1000 free (9:18.61), and the 100 free (50.33).
Louisville commit Ty Thomas also delivered a big showing in his future collegiate city, picking up four wins and securing two additional career-best times.
He picked up a triple freestyle win in the 50 free (20.19), 100 free (44.73), and 200 free (1:38.77), and also won the 50 fly (21.68). Despite all of those top finishes, his two best times came as runner-up finishes to York in the 50 breast (25.32) and the 100 breast (56.96).
