Mew closes in on breastroke record

Bath University's Darren Mew finished less a second adrift of Adrian Moorhouse's British 100m breaststroke record at the British Short Course Championships in Glasgow last night. Katy Sexton, the 16-year-old Commonwealth 200m backstroke champion, completed a championship double as she added the 50m title to her 100m gold medal. Alison Sheppard, who broke her own Scottish record when winning the 100m freestyle, was just outside her best as she added the 50m crown to complete a double triumph.
