George Washington junior Durde Matic continued his standout season on Friday in a series of time trial events at Navy, breaking a Lejeune Hall Pool Record previously held by all-time great Michael Phelps.
Matic swam to a time of 46.14 in the men’s 100 butterfly, lowering Phelps’ record of 46.63 set in 2011 while putting up the fastest time of the field by over 1.8 seconds.
A native of Belgrade, Serbia, Matic was coming off of breaking the A-10 Conference Record in the event in a time of 45.72 the weekend prior.
Phelps, who competed at the Navy pool in the annual NBAC Christmas Meet several times, is still the pool record holder in the 100 free, 200 free, 200 back, 200 fly, 200 IM and 400 IM.
