The 2014 edition of the Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) July Sprints which also served as a qualifier for this year’s Goodwill multi nation championships set for Suriname next month, ended yesterday at the National Aquatic Centre.
The usual standouts continued their impressive showing including the likes of Britany van Lange who achieved the A-Times for Goodwill this year in the 200m free and 50m back, Accalia Khan also achieved the Goodwill A-Time in the 50 back; Hannibal Gaskin, Amy Grant, Raekwon Noel and Leon Seaton among others also turned in consistent performances.
Another one of the emerging swimmers destined for big days in the future if the relevant persons and GASA can hone the talent of her and others is 7-year-old Aleka Persaud who smashed the 8 & Under 50m butterfly record of 47.39 set by Accalia Khan on November 9th 2008 by setting a new mark of 47.12 on Saturday.
Persaud, daughter of GASA President Ivan Persaud, has been very dominant since arriving on the competitive scene and still has some time in this age group as she continues to impress.
A member of the Orca Speed Swim Club, Persaud, who did not compete yesterday, was also triumphant on Saturday in the 100m Individual Medley (IM) clocking 1:47.72 and the 50m free (38.91).
GASA President Ivan Persaud disclosed that the Goodwill team would be announced early this week ahead of next month’s Meet in neighboring Suriname.
