MANTAS KAUSPEDAS FIRE OFF LITHUANIAN AGE RECORDS

Another eye-catching performance came at the hands of Mantas Kauspedas. Racing in the boys’ 100m backstroke, Kauspedas registered a new Lithuanian 17&U Age Record of 54.70. The 16-year-old beat the field by nearly 3 seconds en route to clocking a new lifetime best. His performance surpassed his previous career-quickest 55.41 from last December. Highly impressive".
