Putting a bow on competition in Federal Way, the final day of the 2025 U.S. Masters Summer National Championships was once again full of new standards. Most notable was Charlotte Davis closing out her stellar showing with yet another AQUA Masters world and USMS national record in the women’s 75-79 50 butterfly, marking her 9th and 10th records on the week (counting both national and world records).

Davis, 75, finished in 36.47, besting her own world and national marks of 37.23 set back in April of this year.

Jerome Frentsos, 60, of Oregon Masters took down both the AQUA Masters world record and USMS record in the men’s 60-64 200 backstroke, touching in 2:25.61. Topping the previous national and world marks set by Jamie Fowler of 2:26.12, set just over six years ago.

Frentsos’ teammate Chris Hiatt, 85, saw similar success in the men’s 85-89 200 back, knocking down his own USMS national record from just under three months ago of 3:48.78, with his final time of 3:43.62.

Swim Fort Lauderdale’s Cecilia McCloskey, 75, touched over 30 seconds ahead of the rest of her age group to take the win in the women’s 75-79 200 back. Her final time of 3:09.61 set a new AQUA Masters world and USMS national standard. McCloskey’s time overtook Diann Uustal’s 3:17.63 to nab the national mark, and Australian Clary Munns‘ 3:16.80 to break the world record.

Robert Wright, 75, took down a pair of records in the men’s 75-79 100 breaststroke, clocking 1:25.57 to earn himself both the AQUA Masters world and USMS national records. Wright simultaneously lowered Mike Freshley’s 1:27.74 national mark and Toshiharu Fujii’s 1:26.64 world standards.

Wrapping up the record-breaking was Lone Star Masters in the Mixed 240-279 200 free relay. The team of Michael Bergman (65), Stephanie Stone (58), Maureen Rea (49), and Tom Wolf (71) took down the nearly nine-year-old USMS national standard previously held by the Sarasota Sharks of 1:54.54, with their final time of 1:53.68.
