Tasi shines for the Federated States of Micronesia
Tasi Limitiaco made the 50m Breaststroke Final. The Coronado Swim Team member based in California recorded 29.85 seconds and became FSMs second finalist in the pool at these Games. Born on the small atoll of Polowat and raised in Guam, Tasi already holds the National record in the 100m version of the stroke.
Katerson Moya was back in the pool and clocked up his second individual National Record in as many days in the 100m Men’s Butterfly heats with a time of 59.54 seconds.
The team then combined to post 1-59.68, another National Record for the FSM team in the 4 x 50m Mixed Medley Relay.
Earlier, Kestra and Kaylinn Kihleng competed together in the 50m Breaststroke event, maintaining a long family tradition of swimmers from the family.
