For the first time in Orange County swimming history, two girls raced under 2 minutes in the 200-yard individual medley in the same race.

It happened moments ago Thursday as JSerra’s Sonia Wang held off Santa Margarita’s Katie McLaughlin to capture the race in the teams’ Trinity League dual meet at Santa Margarita.

Wang touched in 1:59.68 while McLaughlin finished in 1:59.84. The pair congratulated each other afterward and deservedly so.

Wang and McLaughlin became only the fourth and fifth girls in county history to break 2 minutes in the 200 IM.
