Commentary by Dave Crampton, Swimming World Contributor.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

World, national and age group records fell on the second day of the New Zealand Short Course championships in Auckland \u2013 and they were all in the 200m individual medley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olympian<\/span> Bradlee Ashby<\/b> started the evening session off with a national open record in the medley, clocking 1:55.30, lowering the mark of 1:56.34 set by <\/span>Dean Kent<\/b> at the 2008 world short course championships in Manchester. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the sixth fastest time in the world this year, and the second fastest of swimmers in Commonwealth countries, meaning Ashby could be a medal prospect at next year\u2019s Commonwealth Games in Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would have been disappointing if I had not got the record,\u201d Ashby said. \u201cI was targeting it \u2013 I haven\u2019t done a short course (championships) properly since 2013.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashby has already qualified for the Commonwealth Games, having set the 200m individual medley long course record, clocking 1:59.24 for 13<\/span>th<\/span> at the world championships in July. However he will still attend trials later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para-swimmer <\/span>Sophie Pascoe <\/b>followed, clocking 2:21.45, after breaking her own SM10 world record in the morning session. It was her fourth world record for the meet in three events. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI loved racing my favourite event (the 200 IM) and breaking my previous world record. Racing is feeling oh so good this week,\u201d Pascoe said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in the morning session, <\/span>Brearna Crawford<\/b>, 14, set a 200m individual medley national age group record, clocking 2:16.15 – the fourth fastest of all ages going into evening finals \u2013 more than a second faster than the previous mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former world junior 50m backstroke record-holder <\/span>Gabrielle Fa\u2019amausili<\/b>, 17, lowered the record twice, clocking 59.69 in the morning and 59.66 \u00a0to win the open final with a quick last length, ahead of <\/span>Bobbi Gichard,<\/b> and \u00a0<\/span>Kyla Alexander,<\/b> \u00a0who both swam under that pre-meet mark. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThree laps into the race I didn\u2019t think I was going to win because I saw Bobbi and Kyla so close next to me but thankfully I just pulled away at the end,\u201d Fa\u2019amausili said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarquin Magner<\/b>, 13, clocked 59:37 in 100m backstroke for a national age group record, to remain unbeaten in all four strokes, beating the 59.86 record held by Olympic finalist <\/span>Corey Main.<\/b> \u00a0Magner is used to travel to training from a small town via hovercraft each morning, but likes the Sir Owen Glenn National Aquatic centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good fast pool with proper blocks \u2013 I`m very happy.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The championships conclude on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
