EDMONTON, Canada, August 11. JESSICA Long broke a World Record tonight to win the Women's S8 400 Meter Freestyle and lead team USA on the first night of the Pan Pacific Para-Swimming Championships.<\/p>\n

Her time of 4:44.97 eclipsed the previous record of 4:45.67 held by Heather Frederiksen from Great Britain. But that wasn't all for team USA in the 400 Freestyle events as Susan Beth Scott (S10) and Mallory Weggemann (S7) both claimed a gold medal in their respective classes as well. Elizabeth Stone (S9) swam well enough to earn a silver medal, and Cortney Jordan(S7) posted a season best to earn bronze.<\/p>\n

Then it was time for the men to hit the pool in the butterfly events. Roy Perkins (S5) won the 50 meter dash just missing his American record time with a 35.78. Lantz Lamback (S7) did eclipse the American Record (33.20) in the 50-meter discipline grabbing a bronze medal in the process. As the classifications moved up so did the distance, and Rudy Garcia-Tolson (S8) shredded his preliminary American record time of 1:12.91 in the 100 by dropping over two seconds and posting a 1:10.84. That time was good enough to earn him a silver medal along with Tucker Dupree (S12) who posted a perfect 1:00.00. <\/p>\n

Jessica Long (31.90) and Mallory Weggemann (32.11) hit the water in the splash and dash 50-meter freestyle event both winning their respective classes. The highlight of the event for Team USA came when Kelley Becherer won the S13 class sliding one one-hundredth under the previous American Record time with a 27.84! Cortney Jordan and Elizabeth Stone each claimed a silver medal for their efforts and Susan Beth Scott earned a Bronze.<\/p>\n
