Two Kirkland middle schoolers were part of a record-breaking 200-yard medley relay team in their age group at Mount Rainier Pool on Sunday.

Tyler Lu, a 6th grader at Chinook Middle School, swam backstroke, and Jake Rinehart, a 7th grader at Kirkland Middle School, swam butterfly. Their KING Aquatic Club relay also included Alex Flores and Ethan Dang. The boys’ record swim of 1-minute, 44.97-seconds broke the previous USA Swimming record by more than a second. The swimmers are coached by Tommy Cunningham and Keith Ure.
