LA MIRADA, California, December 12. DURING the final day of competition, three more world-record setting performances went up on the scoreboard at the CanAm Open Championships.
Australia's Jacqueline Freney clocked a time of 5:00.91 in the women's 400 free S7 division to down the world record in prelims.
