Five days later, on March 5, 2009, at the Texas Speedo Championship Series South Zone Short Course Sectionals meet in College Station, Texas, Hurrell-Zitelman broke the 1000 yard freestyle record in a time of 9:43.91. These represented the oldest two records in the Texas A&M record book, both of which were last broken by Joan Wojtowicz in 1990.
