Bermuda’s swimmers at the Carifta Championships in Aruba will bring home a total of 22 medals when they return tomorrow evening after winning six more medals during last night’s finals.

Maddie Moore, who set a Carifta record and also broke the Bermuda national record held by Keira Aitken when she touched the wall at 26.81sec in the 13-14 50 metres freestyle heats yesterday morning, continued her impressive form to win a gold last night in a time of 26.93.

During the heats, Moore crushed the former Carifta record of 27.45 to go into the final as the top seed.

Moore’s time during the heats made her the fastest 50 metres freestyler in the 15-17 age group, qualified her for the Youth Olympic Games — even though she is too young to attend — and also qualified her for the CAC Games.

Bermuda’s swimmers competed in 11 individual and two relay finals as the meet came to a close with more medals for Bermuda in what has been another successful Carifta Championships.

Emma Harvey won two silvers in the 11-12 girls, one in the 50 free in 28.22 and the other in the 200 metres backstroke in 2min 39.60sec. She was also the High Point Champion in her age group.

Also claiming silver was Shannon Hassell in the girls 13-14 200 metres backstroke in 2:31.63 and the 11-12 girls 200 freestyle relay team in 1:58.74, while Ashley Irby took the bronze in the 11-12 girls 400 metres freestyle with a time of 4:53.31.

Several personal-best performances were recorded during the heats earlier yesterday as Jude Moseley and Alex Pilgrim both shaved several seconds off their PBs in the same 400 metres freestyle heat during which all eight swimmers advanced to the final.

Harvey and Irby placed first and second in their 50 freestyle heat to be seeded third and fourth for the final. Alex Pilgrim went under 30 seconds for the first time and finished in sixteenth place, while Ethan Daley made it to the final in seventh place after also going under 29 seconds for the first time.

Jesse Washington swam the 50 freestyle but his slow start almost cost him a spot in the final. He battled back to fifth position to reach the final. Philip Hagen recorded a PB of 26.36 in the 50 freestyle.

The personal bests continued with Izzy Dutranoit lowering her best time in the 100 breaststroke by two seconds.
