Elliot Leasure (RSC) – 54.92 *NEW 13-14 NAG RECORD* Grant Bellin (KING) – 55.03 Jonathan Packles (AGUA) – 55.04 Benjamin Jaggers (WLOO) – 55.22 Robbie Rosenbaum (BSC) – 56.20 Nico Lee (HEAT) – 56.21 Joseph Campagnola (WFLA) – 56.81 Liam Smith (GKC) – 57.31For the third time in two months, 14-year-old Elliot Leasure has smashed the 13-14 National Age Group record in the boys’ 100 back, throwing down a blazing time of 54.92 at the Junior National Championships en route to winning the meet title in the event.
Leasure, who swims for Rochester Swim Club, shaved just over three-tenths of a second off his former lifetime best and NAG record, which he set less than a week ago at the Minnesota 11-14 Long Course State Championships.
Leasure first broke the NAG record barely two months ago at the AQJT Summer Spectacular in early June, when he clocked a time of 55.86 and became the first 13-14 swimmer in NAG to history to break 56 seconds in the 100 back. Prior to Leasure’s performance at the meet, the 13-14 NAG record stood at 56.36 and was set by Thomas McMillan from 2024.
A year ago Leasure held a personal best time of 57.78 in the 100 back. He has now cracked the 56-second barrier three times in the span of two months and is the fastest 13-14 boy in NAG history by almost one-and-a-half seconds in this event. McMillan still sits in the #2 all-time spot in the age group.

Leasure narrowly secured the victory in the event, getting his hand on the wall just .11 ahead of Belling (55.03).
Leasure’s record-setting win in the 100 back marks his second NAG record of the competition. The first night of racing saw him take 3rd-place in the boys’ 50 back in 25.76, shaving .23 off his own 13-14 NAG record in the event (25.99) from July.
Leasure also placed 5th in the 200 back (2:01.06) earlier this week, which marked the 4th-fastest performance of all-time in the 13-14 age group.
