MUNICH, Germany — The European Forces Swim League record book took just two hits in 88 tries Sunday as the continent-wide youth league wrapped up its 27th championship meet at the Olympic swim hall.

More than 500 swimmers competed in the day’s 88 events, but when just two — Doug McWhorter of the SHAPE Seals and Kristin Cihoski of the powerful Kaiserslautern Kingfish — managed to break league long-course records.

McWhorter, a SHAPE middle school sixth-grader, swam the 50-meter backstroke in 38.36 seconds to break the mark of 38.46 for 11-year-olds set in 2000 by the Kingfish’s Justin Smith.

McWhorter, who began swimming competitively in Japan as an 8-year-old, also claimed gold in the 100-meter individual medley and the 50-meter freestyle.

Cihoski, who blew into the league two years ago from Ohio and immediately established her dominance, also won three individual golds, the maximum possible under EFSL rules.

Cihoski, a sophomore at Ramstein, won the 100-meter breaststroke and 200-meter IM and shaved more than 2 seconds off the former 100-meter backstroke record for 15-16-year olds set by China Cho of Würzburg here last February. Cihoski’s time of 1:10.66 on Sunday topped the old mark of 1:12.86.

Cihoski plans to keep swimming after she graduates.

“I’d like to go to Ohio State, or hopefully Stanford,” she said. “My former coach in Ohio is an assistant there now and he said he’d put in a good word for me.”

She might not need much selling. Sunday’s record was the third she has established in as many years here. She set the mark of 1:11.70 in the girls 13-14 100 backstroke two years ago, and the 100 butterfly mark of 1:08.49 for 15-16-year olds in last year’s championships.

“She swims college times,” said Laura Corder-Chavez, an Aviano coach. “She’s way ahead of the rest of the field.”

In her record race, Cihoski was almost 5 seconds faster than her nearest pursuer, Aviano’s Jessica Corder. Cihoski won the 200 IM in 2:31.18, more than 8 seconds ahead of runner-up 100 freestyle champ and teammate Erika Sergeant, and more than 20 seconds ahead of bronze medalist Joyce Haynsworth of Hohenfels.

In the 100 breaststroke, Cihoski was almost 2 seconds faster at 1:22.63 than runner-up Lauren Blount of Sigonella.

Still, Cihoski, who’ll compete for another year before returning to the States, sees room for improvement.

“I’ll have to do a lot of training and technique work,” she said, adding that she planned to return to Ohio this summer to train with her old club, the Dayton Raiders.

“In the States, swimming takes your whole life. There’s morning training and evening training — distance work, dry-land training and weights. But it all pays off.”

It paid off in spades for coach Beth Stohlmann’s Kingfish on Sunday. In addition to Cihoski and Sergeant, her team was paced by four triple winners: Shea Rhoney, 8-and-under girls; Jake Kimball, 10-year-old boys; Justin Smith, a 13-14-year-old ace who lost his 11s record to McWhorter on Sunday; and Jeffery Meyer in the 15-16 class. The Kingfish won six of the seven relays contested and led all teams with 44 medals, including 20 golds and 11 silvers.

Runner-up SHAPE grabbed 20 medals, half of them gold.

Also winning three individual golds were Hannah Carroll, 12, of the Wiesbaden Wahoos; Felix Carritt-Kurtzahn, 12, of the Brussels Octopus; 14-year-old Frankie Houch of Mildenhall; and Justin Haynsworth of the Hohenfels Hurricanes, the 17-19 champion of the 200 IM, 100 backstroke and 100 breaststroke.
