SHAH ALAM: Sebastian Soon of Selangor and Janetty J Fabian of Sabah each smashed a meet record in the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) Swimming Championships at Darul Ehsan Club today.
Sebastian, 15, clocked 2:14.73 to break a four-year-old record set by national swimmer Tia’a Faang Der by 0.21 seconds to win the boys’ 13-15 200m individual medley event.
“I did not expect to break the meet record as I have never dipped below 2:16.00 in competitions,” said Sebastian who also won a gold medal in the 50m backstroke race today.
“It is great to break a record and hopefully, it will inspire me to train harder for upcoming international meets.
" Despite his record breaking feat, Sebastian’s spot in the squad for the Malaysia Games in Sarawak later this year is not guaranteed.
“I am not sure whether I will be picked for the Malaysia Games. Selangor have so many good swimmers,” said the Kajang-born Sebastian.
