Next new national HS record in the 100-yard butterfly

Well, it's less than a month old, so this still counts as relatively recent - Maclin Davis of Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville set a new national high school record in the 100-yard butterfly with a 46.64, breaking the 47.04 record set by Virginia swimmer Sean Fletcher in 2009.  And I think Fletcher was wearing a suit that no one can wear anymore when he did that, which makes the record even more impressive.

What seems really remarkable is that Davis did the record in the preliminaries of the Tennessee state championships, and hardly anyone (except at least the guy making the video) seemed to notice.  Ho-hum.
