Telkom South Africa Level Three Championships: Day Five

EAST LONDON, South Africa, March 16. IT was a night for the record books as the final day of the Telkom SA Level 3 Championships and Youth Olympic Trials came to a conclusion at the Joan Harrison Swimming Pool in East London.

13 year old Mark Hunter broke his own Age Group Record of 2:30.77 in the 200 metres breaststroke, which he set in 2009, with a new time of 2:29.88.

In the same age group, Mathys Goosen from Gauteng broke the five year old record, previously held by Kristopher Matulovich, in the 100 metres butterfly with a time of 58.58, showing that young talent is certainly on the rise.

Pretoria's golden girl, Natasha de Vos was over the moon with her A Qualification time of 2:15.48 in the 200 metres backstroke. She won 4 golds and 1 silver medal over the five day competition.

Chad Le Clos added another A Qualification time to his name as he sped to a 54.37 in the 100 metres butterfly. Le Clos has four qualification times under his belt in the 400 metres freestyle, 200 metres individual medley, 100 metres backstroke and 100 metres butterfly.

The final Youth Olympic Games Team will be selected and announced by the National Olympic Committee, SASCOC.
