Hyland records his second fastest ever swim but misses out on next stage
BRENDAN HYLAND RECORDED his second fastest ever time and finished third in his heat, but missed out of a place in the next stage of the 200m butterfly.
His time of 1:57.09, which was just half a second off his Irish senior record, left him in a final position of 23rd, which meant he did not progress.
Meanwhile, Ellen Walshe finished eighth in her heat in the Women’s 200m Individual Medley after recording a 2:13.34 swim.
The 19-year-old came in 19th overall which improved on her pre-meet ranking of 20th, but it was not enough to see her into the semi-finals.
