Steve West Betters Pair of Masters World Records At Southern California Invitational<\/strong><\/p>\n

This summer has been an impressive one for Steve West<\/strong>, the former University of Michigan<\/a> standout and United States National Team member. During July’s Southern California Invitational, the perennial Masters record-breaker established a pair of long-course world records in the 50-54 age group. The performances complemented a world record from earlier in the year in the 50-meter breaststroke.<\/p>\n

In the 100 breaststroke, West clocked a time of 1:06.12 to shave .02 off the previous standard, which was set by Russia’s Vladislav<\/strong> Bragin<\/strong><\/a> in April of this year. The 50-year-old West went out in 31.42 and came home in 34.70 to clip the previous standard. Meanwhile, he turned in a time of 2:24.44 to easily better his age group’s world record in the 200 breaststroke. Bragin also held that standard, at 2:25.00.<\/p>\n

In addition to his newest Masters world records, West continues to hold the world record in the 40-44 age group in the 200 breaststroke (2:18.57) and he owns the 100 breaststroke (1:04.77) and 200 breaststroke (2:19.44) world records in the 45-49 age group.<\/p>\n

In addition to representing Team USA in international competition, West was a member of the Michigan squad that captured the 1995 NCAA team title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
