Five championship records fell at Brazilian Winter Junior Championships in Bras\u00edlia during the week. The meet was formatted into junior 1 and junior 2 divisions by age. Those born in 1998 filled the junior 1 division while the junior 2 division was comprised of swimmers born in 1996 and 1997. Aside from the record breaking swims, there were numerous swimmers who flirted with championship records.<\/p>\n
Felipe Ribeiro de Souza set a new championship mark with his 1:50.62 in the men\u2019s junior 200-meter free. De Souza blew away his heat while registering a solid third 50 split of 28.41.<\/p>\n
De Souza also set added a championship record in the junior 1 men\u2019s 100-meter free, cracking the 50-second mark by posting a 49.95. He brought the race home in a 25.93 to secure the top spot and the record.<\/p>\n
Gustavo Louzada narrowly won the men\u2019s 100-meter back in 56.42, less than a second off the championship record. He touched out second place finisher Guilherme Dias Mass\u00ea Basseto, who posted a 56.97.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s 200-meter free, Luiz Altamir Lopes Melo clocked a 1:50.17 to etch his name in the meet\u2019s record book. Like de Souza, Melo was also propelled by a great third 50 time of 28.30.<\/p>\n
Iago Moussalem Amarel was a half second shy of breaking the junior 1 championship record in the men\u2019s junior 100-meter fly. His 54.62 was enough to touch out his closest competitor to win the event.<\/p>\n
In the junior 2 final of the men\u2019s junior 100-meter fly, Vinicius Moreira Lanza (53.36) missed the championship record by 0.05 seconds. The record is currently held by Pedro Franca Vieira at 53.31.<\/p>\n
Brandonn Pierry Cruz de Almeida gutted out a 4:25.13 to set a new record in the men\u2019s junior 2 400-meter IM. De Almeida was third after the fly leg, but shifted gears on the backstroke to storm ahead and win the event by over four seconds.<\/p>\n
Luana Ribeiro (56.74) was about half a second off the women\u2019s junior 2 100-meter freestyle record, which belongs to Natalia de Lucas at 56.20. Ribeiro won the race in wire-to-wire fashion.<\/p>\n
Eduardo Fonesca Amaral just missed the men\u2019s junior 1 200-meter breast record. His 2:20.05 was just enough to win the event, but was a fraction of a second off the 2:19.78 championship mark set by Andreas Mickosz in 2013.<\/p>\n
Mickosz, now competing at the junior 2-level, blazed a new meet record in the 200-meter breast at 2:14.63. He won by a decisive margin ahead of\u00a0Leandro David Bressan.<\/p>\n
