David Guthrie took his first crack at the Masters world records in the short course meters breaststroke events in the 55-59 age group last weekend at the November Classic in Shenandoah, Texas, claiming all three to continue his world record-setting streak.
The 55-year-old Guthrie, swimming in his first short course meters meet for the 55-59 age group, started out with a 1:07.25 in the 100 breast, taking down the world record of 1:08.13 by Germany’s Walter Kusch. Another Kusch record fell when Guthrie put up a 30.41 in the 50 breast, erasing Kusch’s mark of 30.50.
“After a lackluster 1:07 in the 100, I thought the 50 was out of reach right now,†Guthrie said. “Even though I felt really strong in the 50 the next day, I was astonished to see a 30.4 on the board. It’s a very rare and wonderful thing to be pleasantly surprised by a time.â€
