Tallahassee, Fla. – The 2022 FINA Short Course World Championships came to a close in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday. Seven swimmers with ties to Florida State swimming and diving contributed five national records and five individual personal best times.
Rebecca Moynihan and Carlos Vasquez set national records and Max Wilson and Emma Terebo swam personal bests.
Moynihan made the semifinal of the women’s 50 free after turning in her personal best at 24.59 in prelims for 15th place. She placed 16th at 24.67.
Moynihan was also a part of four relay national records, including the women’s 4×100 medley and 4×50 free relays in addition to both the mixed relays at the meet.
Vasquez also set a national record for Honduras, touching at 53.36 in the 100 fly. Vasquez holds the 200 back, 50, 100, and 200 fly as well as the 400 IM in short course meters.
Wilson also swam personal bests in both the 50 and 100 back and Terebo was just shy of the 200 back semifinals after contributing her career best in prelims.
“We’re excited to see so many best times on the world’s biggest stage,” FSU head coach Neal Studd said. “They have truly represented us well and we are very proud of their achievements.”
