By Terin Frodyma on SwimSwam

Kelly Palace, representing UC14 Masters Swimming, clocked the fastest-ever 1500 freestyle in Masters Swimming history in the Women’s 65-69 age group at the Masters Southeast Zone LCM Championships in Cary, North Carolina, last week.

Palace blasted a major best time of 20:19.05, which tops the former World Aquatics Masters World record time of 20:41.53 by Suzanne Heim-Bowen back in July of 2023.

This record marks the 2nd World Aquatics Masters World Record in the 65-69 age group, as she is the current holder of the 400 freestyle World Aquatics Masters World Record, set in June at 5:09.26.

Palace opened up strong, touching in 6:44.05 through her first 500 meters. She then settled into a 1:21-mid pace for the next four 1oos, before hitting the 1000 mark in 13:33.09. From the 1100 through the 1400, those four 100s were nearly identical, splitting 1:22.00, 122.02, 1:22.02, and 1:22.00, before unloading a blistering 1:17.92 on the final 100 meters, the fastest 100 of her entire race.

Her first 750 was only 2.59 seconds faster than she was coming home on the back half: 10:08.23 to 10:10.82.

Splits:

Distance Time 100 1:18.82 (01:18.82) 200 1:20.94 (02:39.76) 300 1:20.79 (04:00.55) 400 1:21.66 (05:22.21) 500 1:21.84 (06:44.05) 600 1:21.76 (08:05.81) 700 1:21.96 (09:27.77) 800 1:21.38 (10:49.15) 900 1:21.76 (12:10.91) 1000 1:22.18 (13:33.09) 1100 1:22.00 (14:55.09) 1200 1:22.02 (16:17.11) 1300 1:22.02 (17:39.13) 1400 1:22.00 (19:01.13) 1500 1:17.92 (20:19.05)
