Th e new games record of 24:25 was set by Indian swimmer Dhaval Khade Vir. Our boys placed 6th and 7th in the event: McLeod (25:52) and Lyons (25:57).
The aquatic action continues tomorrow with Caryle Blondell seeded #11 and McLeod seeded #16 in the 100 m free heats. In the pool for the 1st time tomorrow is Cherelle Thompson in her 100 free event heat, followed by 100m fly performances from Lyons and McLeod. The strategy remains the same to treat the heats as a final aiming for personal best |
