Western Australia State Open Swimming Championships: Tan Jing-E, 13, came within three-tenths of a second from the oldest national womens record when she clocked a time of 2 minutes 23.71 seconds to finish second in the 200m individual medley final. The national under-14 record of 2:23.42 was set by Joscelin Yeo nearly 21 years ago, on March 1st 1993.
