AMELIA Maughan broke two records in one race at Crawley as she marked her 13th birthday on Saturday by adding to her stock of national titles.

The Bournemouth Dolphins swimmer, representing Port Regis School near Shaftesbury, clocked 26.66sec in the heats of the 50m freestyle at the IAPS prep school championships.

The time slashed 1.29sec off a championship record that had stood since 1997 and simultaneously broke Leanne Studley’s Dorset junior short-course record from 2002.

Maughan went on to win the final in 26.83, 1.55sec ahead of Millfield’s Katy Rushmer.

She now holds two IAPS, two National Swimming League and four Dorset junior records and is already the fastest 13-year-old in Britain.
