Ashby’s NZ record

Kiwi swimmer Bradlee Ashby has set a national record but missed out on the final of the 200m individual medley at the world championships in Hungary. Part of the New Zealand squad at last year’s Rio Olympics, Ashby swum 1min 59.24sec Budapest yesterday. The time was good enough to cut 0.3sec off his own national record but he had to settle for 13th fastest across the two semifinals.
