Cook Islands – Laban adds to her collection
Medals keep pouring in for Mia Laban, this time in the Women’s 200m Backstroke final where she took bronze completing the course in 2:18:94. That time saw her improve over 3 seconds from her preliminaries in the morning. The 18 year old, who trains in Auckland with the Howick Pakuranga Swim Club, hasn’t gone a day without a medal so far in Palau. Carter Kita Makira over in the Men’s 200m Backstroke qualified out of the heats for his second Final in as many days finishing 6th fastest overall in the event with a time of 2:14.99. A great effort for the 15 year old.
