Crean Lutheran and Ella Eastin wasted no time going after records as the 42nd annual meet opened with prelims at Foothill.

The reigning CIF Division 3 champions blazed to meet records in the 200-yard medley and 200 freestyle relays while Eastin broke Olympic gold medalist Kaitlin Sandeno’s 1999 meet record in the 200 individual medley.

Eastin qualified first in the 200 IM with a county-leading and automatic All-America time of 2 minutes, 1.57 seconds, slicing about a second off Sandeno’s 2:02.62 standard for El Toro.

Last season, Eastin set the national private school record in the 200 IM with a 1:55.15 at CIF.

Crean Lutheran’s medley relay of Emily Eastin, Rachel Taylor, Ella Eastin and Lindsey Engel qualified first for Saturday’s 10 a.m. finals with a county-leading 1:46.25, which smashed Villa Park’s 2003 record of 1:47.99.

The Saints’ 200 free relay of Emily and Ella Eastin, Tianna Jorgenson and Engel also sprinted to a meet record with a county-leading 1:36.14, which sank their 2013 meet standard.

“I think all of (us) Crean girls surprised ourselves a little bit,” Ella Eastin said in a text message. “We just went into prelims to see what we could do and now we are excited for finals.”

Engel qualified first in the 50 (23.79) and 100 (51.33) freestyles while Foothill’s Courtney Mykkanen clocked a county-leading 56.59 for the top spot in the 100 backstroke.

Crean Lutheran and Santa Margarita’s top 400 free relays were disqualified.
