Continuing a hot streak of big swims worldwide, Rochester Swim Club’s Elliot Leasure got in on the action with a massive 50 backstroke performance in Minneapolis at the Aquajets Summer Spectacular, notching a new 13-14 National Age Group Record in 26.00, erasing the former NAG record by more than a half second.
Leasure, 14, took down the former record time of 26.70, set by Jack Alexy in 2017.
Coming into this meet, Leasure boasted a best time in the 50 back of 27.03, which he swam in May.

This meet proved to be a productive one for the Rochester native. Including several other best times, such as the 100 back in 56.70, a three-tenth-of-a-second timedrop from his best time of 57.00 in May. That time also leaps him inside the top three in the 13-14 NAG rankings, only behind NAG record holder Thomas McMillan (56.36) and Josh Zuchowski (56.62). His previous best 100 back time ranked him just one spot outside of the top 5 at 6th.
One of his biggest timed drops of the meet came in the 200 backstroke, taking the win in the event in 2:02.66, two and a half seconds faster than any other time he had ever clocked before that swim. Just like the 50 and 100 backstroke races, Leasure found himself climbing the 13-14 ladder with this swim as well, leaping from a pre-meet 16th place all-time to now inside the top five, at 4th, just ahead of US Olympic Gold Medalists Ryan Murphy (2:02.86) and Aaron Peirsol (2:02.78) in 6th and 5th, respectively.
In total, Leasure captured six wins on the meet, with other standout performances including the 100 fly (56.69), 400 free (4:16.20), and the 400 IM (4:52.02).
