At the Quebec Cup in Montreal, Matt Targett broke Andrew Lauterstein's 50 Fly Australian Record. His time of 23.17 eclipsed the mark of 23.30 set in the semi-finals of the recent Australian National Championships. He out-distanced Chris Brady of the University of Michigan by more than a second. Targett himself had finished one one-hundreth adrift when Lauterstein set the record and would go on to finish second in the finals. This swim makes Targett even more of a threat for gold in the event at the upcoming world championships. Click here for full event results.
