Swimming: Conestoga’s Brendan Burns breaks 3 Garnet Valley pool records

Conestoga swimmer Brendan Burns broke three Garnet Valley pool records in the Pioneers’ 100-73 win Monday.

Burns, Evan Zhou, Oliver Brown and Owen Neuman set a new mark of 1:48.41 in the 200 medley relay, breaking the previous mark of 1:52.15 set in 2015 by Garnet Valley. Burns then broke Haverford’s Shane Ryan’s 2012 record in the 100 fly (57.17) with a blistering 52.41. He followed that up by breaking Garnet Valley’s Ivan Michalovic’s 2014 record time of 58.05 in the 100 back with a new mark of 53.66.

Burns made headlines earlier this season when he swam the second fastest 200 fly SCY by a 15-16 year old in US swimming history with a 1:42.94 at the 2017 Winter National Championships at Ohio State University. That time is second only to Michael Phelps’ national 15-16 age group record of 1:42.10 set in 2002. Burns added the fourth fastest time in the 100 yard fly (47.62) and the 14^th fastest 200 yard IM (1:47.20).
