Meanwhile, TT’s Zuri Ferguson returns to the pool on December 15 for the preliminary round of the women’s 200m backstroke.

Ferguson has already set four national records at the meet, having clocked 27.83s in the 50m backstroke — the first TT female to dip below the 28-second barrier — on December 12, and then eclipsing the women’s 100m backstroke record by clocking one minute, 00.12 seconds (1:00.12) on December 10.

Both times also shattered the national girls 15-17 records in these events.

Additional, TT’s Nikoli Blackman will vie for a spot in the men’s 200m freestyle final when he lines up in lane five of heat seven on December 15.
