When I was standing on the first place podium I tried to hold back tears but I was very excited and proud of myself. All these girls in my age group are very hard working and they deserve it too.”National coach Ben Smith added: “I’ve been hoping that this is what we would see because Madelyn has been training really hard all year so it was set up for her to perform well and she still has her better events coming.”Also standing on the podium on Saturday was reigning Junior Male Athlete of the Year Jesse Washington.The Warwick Academy student, who moved up to the 13-14 age group this year, recorded a personal best time of 1:01.17 en route to claiming the bronze medal in the 100 meter butterfly. And he did so the hard way after having to come from behind to grab a place on the podium.“I had to race hard to get that medal,” he said. “The new age group is a good challenge.”Washington narrowly missed out on another podium finish yesterday after placing fourth in the final of the 50 metre butterfly in a time of 27.02 which is a new Bermuda record.He also set a new Bermuda record with a time of 2:02.83 en route to finishing fifth in the final of the 200 metre freestyle.Also setting a new Bermuda record in the pool at the weekend was Carifta Swimming Championships debutant Emma Harvey who placed fifth in the final of the 11-12 girls 100 metre butterfly in a time of 1:13.36.Bermuda’s 11-12 girls 4x100 medley relay team also set a new Bermuda record with a time of 5:07.80 en route to qualifying for the final which they finished in seventh.Summing up the swim meet to this point, coach Smith added: “It’s been a very strong meet and the competition is very vast from all the countries.“Most of our swimmers are doing personal best times so the records are falling and our guys are swimming faster than they’ve ever swum before but the competition is strong.”
