Fil-Am Molina breaks 3 RP swimming records
Filipino-American swimmer Miguel Molina shattered three Philippine records at the Janet Evans International Invitational that took place from June 6 to 8 at the University of California in the US.
The tournament showed that Molina is peaking at the right time for his Beijing Olympics campaign, according Mark Joseph, president of the Philippine Amateur Swimming Association (PASA).
Molina won a silver in the 200-meter breast stroke with a time of 2 minutes and 16.62 seconds to finish behind John Criste (2:14.29).
That clocking shattered Molina's own record of 2:16.88 set at the 2005 Philippine Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
Despite a nonpodium finish in the 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter individual medley, Molina posted 1:52.56 and 2:16.62, consecutively, to break his own Philippine marks of 1:52.67 and 2:16.88, respectively
Molina almost rewrote James Walsh's 55.15 second Philippine record in the 100-meter butterfly when he finished the event with a 55.29 clocking.
