Jillian Crooks, 15, Sets Four Cayman Records at CARIFTA Championships<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jillian Crooks,<\/strong> the Tokyo Olympian who is still two months shy of her 16th birthday, set four national records at the 2022 CARIFTA Championships this week in Barbados.<\/p>\n

Crooks now owns six Cayman Islands senior records despite still being a youth swimmer. In addition to the 100 free record she set at the Tokyo Olympics, she added four records at the meet this week. Crooks won the girls\u2019 15-17 50 freestyle in 26.43 seconds. She added a victory in the 50 backstroke (30.02) and the 200 back (2:22.17).<\/p>\n

Crooks, who swam last fall at Homer High School in Alaska<\/a>, also set the mark in the 100 butterfly at 1:03.67. She added a win in the 100 free (57.70) and finished second in the 200 free. Crooks was part of three relays that set Cayman records, including one meet record in the 800 free relay. That squad \u2013 with Harper Barrowman, Kathryn Lambert-Wragg<\/strong> and Kyra Rabess<\/strong> \u2013 went 8:42.17, lopping 3.5 seconds off the mark set in 2018 by Aruba.<\/p>\n
