Following a briefing on the swimmers performance at the recent Goodwill Games swim meet in Trinidad and Tobago  by the team’s manager, Jean La Rose, Minister responsible for sports Dr. Frank  Anthony congratulated the swimmers on their performance, making particular mention of Guyana’s most accomplished swimmer at the event, Britany van Lange.

“I understand that not only did Britany get gold but she set a number of records as well and so we are very, very pleased about that, and as I keep being reminded if you had had more pool time perhaps you would have been setting even bigger records for others to break but we’ll try to correct that, so once again congratulations to all of you and we look forward as we start planning for the next Goodwill Games.” Anthony said. At the meet, van Lange performed in eight events, in the girls’ 13 – 14 category, gaining six medals including three gold,
