DALAWANG meet record ang naitala ni Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ng Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Paranaque sa impresibong kampanya sa 2017 Singapore Island Country Club (SICC) Invitational Swimming Championship nitong weekend sa Lion City.
Nadomina ni Mojdeh ang girls (10-11) 50-meter breaststroke sa tyempong 38.65 segundo at burahin ang dating marka na 39.12 segundo na naitala ni Singaporean Elizabeth Lee noong 2011.
"She's really impressive - an Olympian in the making. We're so proud of her. She broke the record of Schooling established in 2006 - the very same year Jasmine was born. The future of Philippine swimming is bright. We just have to guide them towards that ultimate goal of making it to the Olympics and hopefully end the country's medal drought in swimming. It's been like decades since the Philippines won a medal in swimming," pahayag ni Philippine Swimming League (PSL) president Susan Papa.
