KUALA LUMPUR: Tern Jian Han, Wong Fu Kang, Chan Jie and Keith Lim smashed the country's long-standing national record in the men's 4x100m medley relay for a silver medal at the Singapore national age-group championships on Sunday.

The quartet clocked 3:45.28 to surpass the previous record of 3:45.61 set by Lim Keng Liat, Elvin Chia, Anthony Ang and Allen Ong in the 1999 Sea Games in Brunei.

Welson Sim also made an impact on the final day of the meet by winning the 1,500m freestyle final.

The 20-year-old clocked 15:31.10 for his third title after wins in the 200m and 400m events.

Indonesian Perwira Aflah Fadlan and Singaporean Pang Sheng settled for silver (15:34.50) and bronze (16:03.97) respectively.

It was a new personal best effort for Welson in the event.
