FEDERAL WAY, Washington, March 12. THE third night of short course yard action at the USA Swimming Sectionals held in Federal Way featured quite a few sectional records falling by the wayside.
After an astonishing time of 1:51.07 in the women's 200 back last night, Colorado Stars' Missy Franklin clocked a pretty strong women's 200 free time of 1:44.55 tonight.
