Breeja Larson

The fourth and final day of the 2018 Argentinian National Championships saw one more name added to the South American Games roster, along with a few others already qualified adding an event and 24-year-old Andrea Berrino notching a pair of victories. 19-year-old Santiago Bergliaffa was the only one to add his name to the SA Games Roster with his swim in the 400 IM, putting up a time of 4:25.97 to easily get under the standard of 4:28.75.

American Breeja Larson won her 2nd event and Guido Buscaglia stamped his ticket to the South American Championships on day 3 in Argentina. Larson swam a 2:31.04 in finals of the women’s 200 breaststroke, which marked her 2nd win of the week and adds to an earlier victory in the 50 breaststroke (31.64). This time, however, she was unchallenged by either of Argentina’s best breaststrokers.

Day 1 of the 2018 Argentina National Championships saw a National Record broken, and an American Olympian challenged by a domestic star in the women’s 50 breaststroke. In the first event of the finals, excitement ensued when Robert Strelkov swam a 23.82 in the 50 fly, to break his own National Record of 23.87 that was set in prelims. Coming into the meet, Santiago Grassi held the record from May of last year at 23.89.
