World records take a back seat to winning says Furniss
Bruce Furniss, at the Amateur Athletic Union long course championships in Kansas City, emphasized that the primary goal is bettering oneself and winning. He then set a world record of 1:50.32 in the 200-meter freestyle, defeating Tim Shaw who finished 1:52.05. Shaw had earlier set a world record in the 400-meter freestyle against Furniss, who then pulled away late. Five American records were also set, including Shirley Babashoff in the 200-meter freestyle and Jenni Franks in the 400-meter individual medley. Linda Jezek helped her relay team post 100-meter backstroke time improvements, with Mission Viejo winning the team title.
