INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Tommy Janton is a USA Swimming national champion.
Last week, eight Irish swimmers made the trek to Indianapolis to compete at the 2025 USA Swimming National Championships. Janton made waves by winning the 100 back out of Lane 1 with a school record time of 53.00. In doing so, Janton earned a spot on the United States National Team and will travel to Singapore in July for the 2025 World Aquatics Championships.
Janton also competed in the 50 (25.36) and 200 back (1:58.46), finishing 12th and 10th, respectively.
Teammate Marcus Reyes-Gentry won the B final in the 50 back with a time of 24.99. That mark is under the World Aquatics A standard, qualifying him to compete for Mexico in Singapore.
In addition to Janton’s accomplishment, three other program records fell in Indy. Rising sophomore Carli Cronk broke both the 200 fly (2:11.07) and 400 IM (4:51.70) records, and Cronk earned a seventh-place finish in the 200 fly. The previous 400 IM record was set by Olympian Emma Reaney in 2012 and was the oldest record on the books for the program.
Finally, Patrick Branon lowered his 200 fly program record with a new best time of 1:58.74.
