Flash! Dr. Ron Betters World Record at Nashville Summer Sizzler!

NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 28. DR. Ron Karnaugh, no stranger to the elite swimming scene, stopped by Sunday to compete in the 200 meter Individual Medley at the Nashville Summer Sizzler meet. And sizzle he did.

Karnaugh cruised to victory in the finals with a 2:04.95. The time blasted his own Masters world record for men 35-39 of 2:06.19, but will stand only as a US national record. FINA only recognizes Masters records swum in Masters competition.

So, the US Masters record in the event will now be more than a second faster than the world mark.
