American Kevin Cordes and the Singapore Quah siblings all had strong meets at the 2015 Singapore Nationals.
Zheng Wen Quah topped the men’s 100-meter back in 54.65, just missing his Singapore record of 54.51 from the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. Quah earned another title with a time of 54.04 in the men’s 100-meter fly.
Quah added a third title to his resume with a winning effort of 49.96 in the men’s 100-meter free after qualifying through prelims with a 49.73.
Quah’s older sister, Ting Wen Quah, captured the women’s 100-meter fly in 1:00.28. Quah doubled up with a 25.99 to win the women’s 50-meter free.
The youngest of the Quah siblings, Jing Wen Quah, claimed the women’s 200-meter fly in 2:19.02.
American Kevin Cordes, training in Singapore under the tutelage of Singapore’s national head coach Sergio Lopez after completing his NCAA career at the University of Arizona, had a strong weekend himself.
Cordes clocked a 27.54 in the men’s 50-meter breast to move to 15th in the world rankings. He also clocked a 1:00.27 in the men’s 100-meter breast to tie Jake Packard for 14th in the world. He then put up a 2:11.97 in the men’s 200-meter breast.
He swam all of those times during B finals, since he was unable to compete for the national title during the finals sessions.
