Guehrer wins World Cup gold
13 October; Rod Warnecke
First year Arts student Marieke Guehrer starred for Australia in the pool overnight, winning the 100m Butterfly at the World Cup in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Guehrer won in a time of 57.51 seconds, just outside of her personal best but good enough to defeat Brooke Bishop of the USA and Mandy Loots of South Africa. Guehrer then backed up to win silver behind Bishop in 50m Freestyle, stopping the clock at 24.73 seconds and just 0.07 seconds off the gold. Guehrer was also the star of the swimming pool for Team Melbourne at the recent Australian University Games where she won three gold, a silver and a bronze medal. |
