The multi-international medalist won both the 50m and the 100m freestyle events, hitting times of 24.36 and 53.29, respectively. Coleman also found success in the 100m back, producing a time of 58.19 comprised of splits of 27.90/30.29. She owns a lifetime best of 56.57, a mark that also stands as the Swedish national record.
Robin Hansson was extra impressive at this meet, topping the podium a remarkable 6 times, including a sweep of the freestyle events through the 400m. Below are his gold medal-worthy times here in Upplands Vaesby:
