DUNKERQUE, France. July 29. ISRAEL's Vered Borchovsky, 16, who earlier in these championships set a European Junior Record in the women's 50 meter fly (27.00), today became the first female European junior swimmer to crack a minute in the 100 meter fly. Borchovsky's 59.79, swum in the second semi-final today, puts her some two seconds ahead of Romania's Diana Mocanu for tomorrow's final. Borchovsky's time was also an Israeli national record.<\/p>\n
Two other European Junior marks were set in the finals today, bringing to 12 the records set in the first three days of competition.<\/p>\n
