The swimming portion of the Junior Pan American games wrapped up last night with Brazil extending its dominant lead of the medal table and Argentina setting two new national records.
The first one was set by Agostina Hein, who has been the country’s biggest star this meet. She went out with a bang in her 200 IM, stopping the clock in 2:12.12 to win by four seconds and set her second national record of the meet.
The men’s 200 IM was a much closer race between Guatemala’s Roberto Bonilla and Brazil’s Stephen Steverink. Bonilla used a killer 33.58 breaststroke split to pull ahead of Steverink and deny him a fifth individual gold. Steverink’s final time stood at 2:01.83, a second behind Bonilla’s 2:00.89, a new national record for Guatemala.
Besides the 200 IM, the mile was the only other individual event contested in the session. The women’s 1500 saw Brazilian Leticia Fassina run away with the gold, posting a 16:30.86 to win by 18 seconds. This stands nine seconds off the Louisville swimmer’s lifetime best. Colombia’s Tiffany Murillo, Brazil’s Mariana Costa, and Mexico’s Sharon Guerrero had a fierce battle for 2nd through 4th, ending less than a second and a half a part. It was Murillo who scored silver (16:48.89) while Costa nabbed bronze (16:49.95), with Guerrero .2 back in 16:50.15.
Brazil accomplished a 1-2 in the men’s mile. Incoming Alabama swimmer Joao Pierre Campos logged a 15:19.77 to secure gold, nine seconds slower than the best time he went at World University Games last month. Shortly after Campos, Matheus de Freitas touched for silver in 15:21.13.
The meet closed with the 400 medley relays. On the women’s side, Brazil dominated the competition with a 4:05.92 final time. Stephanie Balduccini anchored the team in 54.82, winning her 8th gold medal of the meet.
The final victory of the meet went to Argentina in the men’s 400 medley relay. No other country could come back from Ulises Saravia’s excellent 53.76 backstroke lead-off for Argentina. Then, Danta Nicola Rho (1:01.72), Ulises Cazau (52.23), and Matias Santiso (48.82) propelled the country to a 3:36.53 national record, its second of the session.
