Dhuha broke 2 meet records in Ipoh during SportExcel Leg 2

The recently concluded SportExcel Leg 2 at Pusat Akuatik Tuanku Zara, Ipoh on the 22nd to 23rd June 2019 was a much awaited event for swimmers to gain maximum points for them to qualify to the SportExcel Grand Final which will be held on the 3rd to 4th August 2019.

With a number of strong swimmers shying away from an outstation meet, IBSC swimmers still managed to collect a total of 30 medals comprising of 10 gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze for the 2 days meet to finish second on the table.

As far as the Grand Final is concerned, the medals tally is of less significance since the selection for qualified swimmers will be based on the total points accumulated by the swimmers in both Legs. Only top 24 swimmers will be selected in each event to advance to the Grand Final in August 2019.

A big shout out to Ng Zi Syuen (Girls Category) and Muhammad Dhuha (Boys Category), both are able to retain their top spot in the 2nd Leg with 182 points and 189 points respectively.

Dhuha who has aimed to break the butterfly records has made his wish come true by springing up new faster times of 30.93 for 50m butterfly and 1:08.13 for 100m butterfly, erasing both 2017 records.

Congratulations Dhuha for such an awesome effort!

A special thanks to Coach Daniel Bego, Coach Kamal and Coach Daniel Lee for their guidance, motivation and encouragement to the IB swimmers for the 2 days meet.
