Leading the way for Federated States of Micronesia
It’s been a good 24 hours for Kestra Kihleng. She’s a veteran of six World Championships and the Paris Olympics, who now trains in Thailand under the World Aquatics Scholarship. Kestra was a proud flagbearer for her country at the Opening Ceremony and followed up on Day 1 in the pool for the Women’s 100m Individual Medley. In addition, Katerson Moya qualified for the Men’s 50m Backstroke Final where the 18 year old placed 6th in a time of 27.74 seconds and broke a National Record. The previous record was 29.15 back in 2008.
