Jack McMillan kicked off day 2 of the Irish Winter Meet by breaking his own National Senior record in the 200m free with a time of 1:42.74. He had set this record previously at 1:43.18 during the 2019 European Short Course Championships.

This was McMillan’s only event of the Friday prelims session and he is the top seed going into finals, more than 1 second ahead of  Jordan Sloan who holds the National Senior record in long course. McMillan told Swim Ireland that he does have a goal in mind for finals, but “we’ll just see how it goes.”

18-year-old Eoin Corby took down the second record which fell this morning, following up his Junior record-setting 50m breast last night by outdoing his own National Junior record in the 100m IM and touching the wall at 54.76. Corby took over one-third of a second off of the record which he set last year at the Irish Short Course Championships. This swim came after his 100m breast where he posted a 58.91, about half a second off of his lifetime best.

Going into finals, Corby is the top seed in the 100 breast, with only a slight lead on Darragh Greene. Greene, the Irish National record-holder in the long course version of the event, finished the 2020 International Swimming League as a part of London Roar last month.

There will be more opportunities for records to fall in finals, which will be contested in long course meters, starting at 5:30pm in Dublin, or 9:30 AM PST and 12:30 PM EST in the United States.
