World Record at the Santa Clara International Invitational
April 5, 2004 |
The 36th Santa Clara International Invitational swim meet saw it’s first world record in 32 years when Michael Phelps of North Baltimore Aquatic Club turned in an awesome performance on Sunday afternoon, in the Men’s 200 IM. His time of 1:57.94, bettered the nine year old mark of 1:58.16, set by Finland’s Jani Sievinen, at the 1994 World Championships in Rome.
