Alicia Mullan won a gold medal in the 800-metre freestyle and a bronze in the 100m backstroke at the Caribbean swimming championships in Puerto Rico on the weekend.

An incorrect name, supplied to the The Royal Gazette , was reported yesterday.

Mullan, a 20-year-old student at the University of Indianapolis, won a total of five medals at the championships in Puerto Rico. She established a national record with her time of 9:53.84 in the 800m freestyle, becoming the first female to go under ten minutes.

Stephen Fahy had a message for the Bermuda Olympic Association.

In Saturday's final day of competition at the Caribbean Islands Swimming Championships in Puerto Rico, Fahy swam to a bronze medal in the 50-metre freestyle and in doing so dropped his best time in the event by five-tenths of a second to 24.61.

And in winning the bronze, Fahy, who was left off the Olympic team despite a last-minute appeal last week, beat out a swimmer from the British Virgin Islands who will be going to Atlanta by 3/10ths of a second. The gold and silver went to Olympians from Cuba and Puerto Rico, respectively.

The medal was just part of a record haul of 15 the Bermuda team brought home last night, including four golds and a silver.

Alisha Miller struck gold in the 800m freestyle and established a Bermuda record in the process. She became the first female to go under ten minutes after her time of 9:53.84.

Miller also captured a bronze in the 100m backstroke to complete the full compliment of medals. Trevor Ferguson captured his third medal of the championships, a bronze, in the 100m backstroke.

The boys 15-17 4x100 freestyle team captured a bronze medal with a time of 3:42.91, with Fahy swimming his leg in 53.6, Stephen Troake 54.34, Matthew Hammond 55.90 and Trevor Nelson 58.00.

Ronald Cowen set a new age group record in the 15-17 age group in the 1,500m freestyle with a time of 17.53. Troake, in his first year in the 15-17 age group, missed breaking Stanley Harris' 100m backstroke record by just 2/100ths of a second.

The 13-14 year medley relay team of Graham Smith, Paul Fox, Michael Pantry and Nuri Lathan missed a medal by 2/10s of a second and had to settle for fourth place.
