ALEX Fong Lik-sun and Joanna Fargus produced the outstanding performances on the final day of the Hong Kong national championships yesterday, setting senior and junior records at Kowloon Park.
Fong smashed his own junior record of 4:45.95 for the men's 400 metres individual medley and set a senior record in the process, clocking 4:40.20.
His time was a fraction of a second faster than Mark Kwok Kin-ming's previous senior record of 4:40.32.
Fong touched home more than seven seconds ahead of second-placed Szeto Shui-ki, who timed 4:47.67 while Michael Scott finished third in 4:56.75.
Fargus, who on Saturday set a junior record in the women's 100 metres backstroke, went one better in the 200 metres backstroke, clocking 2:24.11.
It bettered by more than four seconds Kristina Koehler's pervious senior and junior record of 2:28.41.
Koehler, herself, swam under the old record in finishing second in 2:26.79.
