Twin-kill for Barreto in PSI National Open

MANILA, Philippines — Miguel Barreto splashed his way to a pair of golden performances in the 2022 Philippine Swimming Inc. National Open at the Teofilo Yldefonso Swimming Complex, formerly Rizal Memorial Pool Center, yesterday.

Representing Ayala Harpoons Swim Club, Barreto took the men’s 800-meter freestyle gold in eight minutes and 52.01 seconds and the 100m free in personal-best 53.03 seconds.

“Thankfully, I had a best-time because out of my five events, that was my best swim,” said Barreto, referring to his 100m showing.

Pierre Chan and Jordan Lobos also took the spotlight by topping the 50m backstroke in 26.91 and 200m breaststroke in 2:21.77, respectively.
