MUMBAI, March 9: Tejaswi Shetty sunk two marks to claim the individual honours in the 27th Bombay-YMCA Open Swimming Meet that concluded at the YMCA pool yesterday.

Tejaswi’s display stood out in the two-day championship that witnessed five new meet records. She bettered her own 100 metre freestyle mark (1:04.38) in the under-14 category set last year with a timing of 1:03.59. The Juhu Vile-Parle (JVP) lass clocked 1:21.51 to improve upon Radhika Lakhani’s 100m breast stroke 1997 record (1:23.245) in the same category.

In the boys under-14 section, Riyad Palia of Otters Club submerged a six-year-old mark that stood in the name of Shane Pedder. He timed the 100m breastroke to 1:17.50 to best the old record of 1:18.38. Parikshit Shetty and Rehan Poncha set up an interesting tussle for supremacy in the boys under-12 section each setting up a new mark.
