Vazquez used a strong breaststroke leg to take the lead at the 300 over USA&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Isabel Gormley\u00a0<\/strong>and Hungary&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Eszter Szabo-Feltothy\u00a0<\/strong>as the Hungarian had the lead at the 200.<\/p>\n<p>It looked for about 250 meters that Hungary was going to win the first two gold medals of the Championships with Szabo-Feltothy leading, but she was quickly chased down by Vazquez and Gormley, who put on a duel over the last 100 meters on the freestyle. Vazquez held off a late charge from Gormley, based out of New York City, as the Spaniard got under the world junior and championships record set by Great Britain&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Rosie Rudin\u00a0<\/strong>in 2015 at 4:39.01. Gormley was almost under the old record as well with a 4:39.15 for the silver medal.<\/p>\n<p>FINA did not start recognizing world junior records until April 1, 2014, so only swims after that date count as records, despite the fact many 18 and under athletes from years prior were faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age eligibility:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Girls \u2013 14, 15, 16 and 17 years of age by 31st December of any given year (this year, 1997 born, oldest age group)<\/li>\n<li>Boys \u2013 15, 16, 17, and 18 years of age by 31st December of any given year (this year, 1996 born, oldest age group)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vazquez is now ranked 17th in the world and is the second fastest Spaniard behind <strong>Mireia Belmonte<\/strong>. Gormley is now ranked 23rd in the world for 2019, moving ahead of fellow American <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Great Britain&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Michaella Glenister\u00a0<\/strong>used a stellar final 100 to win the bronze medal with a 4:39.35 as she chased down the Hungarian, who wound up fourth at 4:40.48. Glenister is now ranked 24th in the world this year and is the third fastest British swimmer.<\/p>\n<p>Spain&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Paula Juste Sanchez\u00a0<\/strong>(4:41.79) finished in fifth while
