Texas Ford Aquatics – 1465 Lakeside Aquatic Club – 1217 Blue Tide Aquatics – 640.5 Metroplex Aquatics – 444.5 Nitro Swimming – 380.5The North Texas Swimming LSC record book was rewritten this past weekend as Lakeside Aquatic Club hosted the annual LAC Fall Classic in Justin, TX. The meet mainly attracted North Texas teams, but saw some teams from Oklahoma, New Mexico, Gulf Swimming, and South Texas participate as well.
14-year-old Ayden Tan set 6 13-14 boys LSC records in his first meet in the LSC. Previously, Tan and his older sister Mikayla Tan, SwimSwam’s #3 recruit in the girls class of 2028, were in California where they competed for several teams, including DART, Crow Canyon Sharks (which then merged into Pleasanton Seahawks), and finally San Ramon Valley Aquatics. This fall, Mikayla and Ayden, along with their 12-year-old sister, Kyra, relocated to the Dallas area and now compete for Texas Ford Aquatics, which is located in the northern suburb Frisco. Mikayla is already attached to TFA, while Ayden swam for SRVA at a meet in September, so he hasn’t completed the 60-day waiting period to attach as of yet.
The move of the Tans to North Texas was felt immediately at this meet, as the siblings accounted for 8 broken LSC records. Ayden kicked things off with a 47.63 in the 100 fly, marking his first time under 48 seconds in the event. With the swim, Tan absolutely shattered the North Texas Swimming LSC record of 49.06, which was held Evan Pan-Wang, who is now his teammate at TFA. Additionally, that performance brings Tan up to #5 all-time in the 13-14 age group, though he’s still a ways off Thomas Heilman’s NAG of 45.81, which has stood since 2021.
On the same night, Tan popped a new career best of 22.38 in the 50 back, establishing another personal best. Tan’s all-time rank in the 13-14 age group stayed at #2, but he inched a little closer to Michael Andrew‘s NAG of 21.87. He also smashed the LSC record, which was previously held at 24.51, by more than 2 seconds. Tan would go on to swim a career best 48.05 in the 100 back the next day. Once again, he crushed the LSC record, which stood at 49.74, and he rose to #4 all-time in the age group.
Tan also popped a career best in the 200 IM, where he swam a 1:48.46, which marked his first time under 1:50 in the event. He was well under the LSC record of 1:51.14, and he rose to #6 all-time in the age group. While it wasn’t a new career best, Tan tied his best in the 50 free with a 20.97. That swim isn’t as high in the all-time rankings as his others, but it did mark another LSC record. Brett Ringgold held the previous North Texas Record with a 21.02 from 2010.
Tan’s only other race of the weekend was the 50 fly, where he swam a 21.86, which was just a hair off his personal best of 21.80. While it wasn’t a best time, it was a new LSC record, shattering the previous mark of 23.17.
Here is a look at the all-time rankings for Tan’s career best swims from this meet:
13-14 Boys All-Time Rankings
Rank 50 Back 100 Back 100 Fly 200 IM #1 Michael Andrew – 21.87 Daniel Diehl – 47.44 Thomas Heilman – 45.81 Michael Andrew – 1:45.29 #2 Ayden Tan – 22.38 Elliot Leasure – 47.71 Michael Andrew – 46.95 Shareef Elaydi – 1:45.93 #3 Elliot Leasure – 22.46 Michael Andrew – 47.83 Tim Wu – 47.56 Thomas Heilman – 1:46.61 #4 Lubo Liu-Tchorbadjiyski/Aiden Hayes – 22.52 Ayden Tan – 48.05 Shareef Elaydi – 47.60 Tim Wu – 1:47.93 #5 Ronald Dalmacio – 48.64 Ayden Tan – 47.63 Gray Umbach – 1:48.08 #6 Austin Chu – 22.62 Baylor Stanton – 48.65 Andrei Minakov – 47.48 Ayden Tan – 1:48.46Mikayla Tan, who handed Stanford her verbal commitment a few weeks ago, was also excellent in her first meet in North Texas. The older Tan kicked things off on Friday with a career best in the 100 fly by nearly a second. Tan clocked a 53.27, marking her first time under 54 seconds in the event. She put herself roughly a quarter-of-a-second off the 15-16 girls LSC record of 53.02, which is held by now-Louisville-Cardinal Camille Murray from 2023.
In addition to the 100 fly, Tan swam the 200 breast on Friday. She posted a 2:10.37 in prelims then 2:10.74 in finals. She was off her career best of 2:06.74, but with her prelims performance Tan was able to take down Avery Collins‘ LSC record of 2:10.42, which had stood since 2022. While Tan was a bit off her career mark in the 200 breast on Friday, she was right on her best time in the 100 breast on Saturday, where she won the event convincingly with a 59.79. That swim was just off her personal best of 59.67 and, you guessed it, marked another LSC record broken. The previous mark was held by Ella McWhorter at 1:00.57 from 2024. McWhorter is currently a freshman at Texas A&M.
Tan was strong in her other events on the weekend, winning the 200 IM in 1:59.15 (career best 1:56.13), and taking the 50 breast in 27.99 (career best 27.43).
There was one other North Texas Swimming record broken on the weekend, this one at the hands of Metroplex Aquatics 14-year-old Zaryna Wardlay. Recently voted the North Texas Swimming Female Age Group Athlete of the Year for this past season, Wardlay popped a bunch of new personal bests over the weekend. Most notably, she clocked a 24.51 in the 50 fly, marking a new personal best by well over half-a-second, and taking down the 13-14 girls LSC record, which had stood at 25.20. Additionally, Wardlay’s swim now ties her for 7th all-time in the 13-14 age group in the event.
On top of her huge performance in the 50 fly, Wardlay cracked her personal bests in 5 other events over the weekend. She swam a 54.29 in the 100 fly, marking a nearly 2 second drop from her best coming into the meet, which was 56.01. Wardlay also swam a pair of backstroke best times, clocking a 26.71 in the 50 back and a 56.90 in the 100 back. She broke 23 seconds for the first time in the 50 free, swimming a 22.75 to win the event. Wardlay also broke 50 seconds for the first time in the 100 free, winning that race in 49.15. Her 100 free time ranks her 18th all-time in the age group, while her 50 free has her tied with Simone Manuel for 25th all-time.
Also of note, Texas Ford Aquatics pro Luke Barr competed at this meet. Barr, who is set to compete for Team USA at the Short Course World Championships in China next month, swam a fairly limited schedule consisting of the 200 breast, 100 breast, and 200 IM. He kicked things off by winning the 200 breast in 1:51.84. He was a touch off his personal best of 1:50.19, which he established back in September. The 200 breast has arguably been Barr’s best event this fall. At the World Cup last month, Barr missed the American Record in the SCM 200 breast by just 0.13 seconds. He’ll be competing in that race at the World Championships.
From the 200 breast, Barr went on to win the 100 breast in 51.66 on Saturday. The swim was within a second of Barr’s personal best of 50.81. He also raced the 200 IM on Sunday, where he clocked a 1:46.07 in prelims, but he scratched finals. Barr is set to compete in all 3 of these races in China next month.
More TFA pro swimmers put up strong performances over the weekend. Jacob Molacek won the men’s 50 back in 21.09, which put him within half a second of his career best 20.76 from 2023. Morgan Scott also swam the 50 back, winning the women’s race in 23.76. That performance by Scott marks a new career best for her by 0.13 seconds.
Another notable swimmer at the meet was 17-year-old Evan Pan-Wang. Pan-Wang, who competes for TFA, had a number of career bests over the weekend. He kicked things off by winning the men’s 100 fly with a 46.98, which took a little more than half-a-second off his personal best of 47.55. The 100 fly was a big event for the TFA boys, as Pan-Wang won, fellow 17-year-old Ramika Arangalla took 2nd with a huge personal best of 47.20, and Ayden Tan was 3rd in 47.63. Additionally, 16-year-old Nathan Kondapalli took 5th with a personal best of 49.19. To put it in context, among high schoolers nationally this season, Pan-Wang is ranked 2nd overall behind only Luka Mijatovic (46.90), while Arangalla is ranked 3rd overall among high schoolers, and Tan, who is 8th grade, would be ranked 5th among high schoolers.
The 50 fly had a similar dynamic for the TFA boys, though it was actually a bit more dominant. Arangalla won the race in 21.57 (PB), while Pan-Wang was 2nd in 21.64 (PB), Tan was 3rd in 21.86, and Kondapalli was 4th with a 22.06 (PB). Arangalla is 2nd nationally among high schoolers this season, while Pan-Wang is 3rd, Tan would be 6th among high schoolers, and Kondapalli comes in at 14th.
Pan-Wang, a Yale recruit for next year, also won the men’s 50 free in a career best of 20.32. Similarly, he won the 100 free in 43.64, after swimming his career best 43.60 in prelims. He also swam a career best of 22.23 in the 50 back.
OTHER HIGHLIGHT SWIMS

Nitro Swimming 16-year-old Derek Hernandez-Ojeda had a pair of big swims. He won the men’s 200 fly in 1:48.11, marking his first time under 1:50 in the event. He also won the men’s 200 back with a 1:44.61 which, while off his PB of 1:44.21, is a very impressive early November swim.Read the full story on SwimSwam: 14yo Ayden Tan Shatters 6 North Texas LSC Records in First Meet Since Moving to TX, While Sister Mikayla Tan Breaks 2
