Irish records continued to tumble during day two of the Irish National Short Course Championships at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre.
European Championship team members Danielle Hill, Shane Ryan, Eoin Corby and Paddy Johnston were all adding to previous records, while Ellen Walshe, Naomi Trait and three relays joined the history makers.
Danielle Hill continued her assault on the record books adding the 100m freestyle to the 50m freestyle and 50m and 100m backstroke records she has broken over the past 10 days.
It was record number eight in the for the Larne swimmer as she dominated tonight's final in 53.81, breaking Mona McSharry's 2018 record of 54.34.
In third place, Kilkenny’s Naomi Trait took down the junior record in 55.13.
Shane Ryan, the European bronze medallist over the 50m Backstroke and Irish record holder in Backstroke and Freestyle events, took on the 50m Butterfly where he broke Barry Murphy’s 2013 record of 23.28 in 22.96.
Paddy Johnston claimed another junior record in as many days to win silver in 24.02.
In the Women’s 50m butterfly final, Templeogue’s Ellen Walshe took yet another record. The 18-year-old had set the current standard of 26.65 last month, but flew to 26.10 on Friday evening, knocking a full half second off her record for the gold medal.
