Alan Bell, Lincoln Djang Lower U.S. Masters Swimming Records

FEDERAL WAY, Washington, April 15. THIS past weekend at the 2010 Pacific Northwest Association Swimming Championships, Alan Bell and Lincoln Djang each lowered U.S. Masters Swimming national records in the short course yard format.

Alan Bell cleared a pair of distance freestyle events in the men's 60-64 age division. Bell clocked a 5:19.84 in the men's 500 free to lower the 5:21.61 set by Paul McCormick back in 2007. Bell also turned in an 18:41.51 in the men's 1650 free to eclipse the 18:49.29 set by James McCleery also in 2007.

Djang, meanwhile, turned in a 2:01.39 in the men's 50-54 200 backstroke. The performance wiped out the 2:03.62 set by William Specht last year. The swim is Djang's first national record in a backstroke event, as he is usually an IMer with a specialization in the breaststroke.
