FLASH!! Bovell Sets World Record

 

EAST MEADOW, New York, March 25. GEORGE Bovell set a world record tonight when he swam the short course 200-meter individual medley in 1:53.93 seconds at the NCAA Championships in East Meadow, New York. Bovell, a 19 year-old sophomore at Auburn University, slashed more than seven-tenths of a second off the old mark of 1:54.65 set by Finland's Jani Sievinen in 1994 and equalled in 2000 by Hungary's Attila Czene. Bovell is the first swimmer from Trinidad and Tobago to set a world record.
