More Records Fall In CIS Swim Finals

After several records fell on Day 1 of the 2009 CIS Swimming Championships, the next two days had a lot to live up to. And they did not disappoint. Between the last two days another 9 Canadian records fell and an insane 17 CIS championship records were surpassed for a total of 15 and 24 during the three day event. Erica Morningstar perhaps stole the show as she took part in the most record setting swims with 5 Canadian/CIS Championship records and another 2 CIS Championship only records.
