Pavol Jelenak Scores Slovakian Record at Nationals
Pavol Jelenak was part of a pair of Slovakian national records at the Slovakian National Championships this week in Bratislava.
Jelenak lowered his own national record in the men’s 200-meter IM with a time of 2:05.36. That swim clipped the 2:05.59 he clocked at the 2012 European Championships in Hungary.
Jelenak also helped his Bratislava teammates to a national record in the men’s 800-meter free with a 1:52.56 leadoff split. Jelenak, Martin Lacko (2:01.34), Adam Rosipal (1:58.89) and Richard Nagy (1:51.56) smashed the previous record of 7:47.81 with a 7:44.35 for the win.
Jelenak also picked up victories in the men’s 100-meter free (52.73) and 200 free (1:54.88).
Although Rosipal did not score an individual national record, he still finished with a strong performance as he claimed a trio golds and a silver at the meet in Bratislava.
Rosipal won the men’s 800-meter free (8:41.08), men’s 1500 free (16:35.95) and was part of the aforementioned 800-meter free relay.
He also scored silver in the men’s 400-meter free relay.
Another top performance came out of Tomas Klobucnik. He swept the breaststrokes with wins in the men’s 50-meter breast (28.22), the 100-meter breast (1:02.45) and the 200-meter breast (2:16.58).
