George posts Harvard swim record

NATIONAL swimmer Kemi George erased a ten-year-old Harvard record at the Ivy League Swim Championships in Long Island, New York, recently.

The former Marlins representative created a new mark in the 50-yard freestyle race in 20.02 seconds, well inside the previous time of 20.10 seconds.  The lanky George was also involved in the 4x100 metre freestyle relay with his Harvard University team and Princeton University where, swimming the anchor leg, he clocked 43.35 seconds to enable his team to jump from fourth to second spot. And, in related news, the national team will undergo a photo shoot on Wednesday at 3.30pm at the Marlins Swim Pool, Westmoorings. The squad is preparing for their defence of the CARIFTA Swimming Championships in Kingston, Jamaica from April 19-21.
