MARCUS TITUS, MATTHEW KLOTZ AMONG SWIMMERS NAMED TO US DEAF SWIMMING ROSTER FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/p>\n

Three days into the World Deaf Swimming Championships, five deaf world records have fallen, including one to American Marcus Titus in front of his home nation\u2019s crowd.<\/p>\n

The World Deaf Swimming Championships are taking place in San Antonio, Texas this week, the same facility that hosted U.S. Junior and Senior Nationals earlier in the month.<\/p>\n

Swimming for a home American audience, Titus broke his own deaf world record in the 100 free, going 51.22 to win gold. Titus\u2019s old record was a 51.42 from 2011; Russia\u2019s Vitalii Obotin was also under that mark in taking silver (51.35).<\/p>\n

Apart from that race, it\u2019s been the 50-meter events where records have been most on the chopping block. The men\u2019s 50 back and women\u2019s 50 fly records were broke twice apiece over the first three days, and the women\u2019s 50 breast record also fell.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s 50 back, Japan\u2019s Yoshikazu Kanaji broke the deaf world record in both prelims and finals. The 21-year-old Kanaji went 27.35 in the morning, then 27.06 at night, dropping the world mark previously shared by John Kealy and Ryutaro Ibara at 27.90. Ibara, also representing Japan, was second in the event in San Antonio, also bettering his old world record with a 27.69.<\/p>\n

Kanaji also won the 200 back on day 1, going 2:08.14.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s 50 fly, South African Peggy de Villiers twice broke the world record, first with a 28.40 in prelims, and second with a 28.28 in the medal final. That takes nearly a full second off the record, which stood at 29.16 from Pernilla Kile in 2009.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s 50 breast saw Belarus\u2019s Aksana Petrushenka better her own record in prelims. She had previously set the world record at 33.27 back in 2009, but went 32.85 in morning heats. She would go on to win the event in 32.96.<\/p>\n

The final world record of the meet went to the Russian men\u2019s 4\u00d7100 medley relay. Igor Zhuravlev, Martin Formin, Ilia Trishkin and Vitalii Obotin went 3:53.04 to break the six-year-old world record the nation already held.<\/p>\n

You can find the full results of the meet on Meet Mobile. Results from the first three days can be found on the meet website here. http:\/\/www.wdsc2015.us\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The meet continues three more days, though Saturday night.<\/p>\n
