Marshall Islands
Today marks the end of Marshall Islands’ time at the Mini Games for their two swimming representatives, Jacob Hutchinson (16) and Jaya Corder (17). Jacob participated in the 100m Individual Medley heats yesterday, finishing with a time of 1:25.85, as well as competing in today’s 50m Breastroke with a time of 42.72. Jacob’s teammate Jaya also competed in the 100m Individual Medley with a time of 1:17.35.
Jaya continues to gain experience competing on a big scale after his debut at his first World Championship Short course swimming event at Budapest last year. He attended the championship as a sole representative only 6 months ago, where he first displayed his determination and spirit.
We look forward to seeing more from the two young swimmers in the future and watching their development.
