If one managed a personal best (PB) in these races, they would score an additional 20.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the swimmers competed in their best strokes with only Lumu managing to secure a PB among the swimmers that have hit minimum scoring times in all four strokes.<\/p>\n<p>There were PBs for those the starlets yet to hit the minimum standards like; her teammate Elijah Ssegujja (43.00), Flames\u2019 Abigail Babirye (43.08), Jowella Kirabo (42.68) and Nadra in the 50m fly. In the 50m backstroke, Astros\u2019 Elisha Rukundo (46.35), Colts\u2019 Hal Bugingo (42.26) and Joel Wakabi (39.68), Flames\u2019 David Mwere (56.98), and Talons\u2019 Raani Asiimwe (49.70) all had non-scoring PBs.<\/p>\n<p>Colts also topped the 100m fly matches with 60 scores with only Astros coming close on 30. All the other teams did not score.<\/p>\n<p>The defending champions then topped three of the four relays (10x25m fly, breaststroke and free) to win their first maximum match day points (five) of the 2024 season and march to joint fourth with 12 points in the overall standings. They only came second, behind Talons in backstroke relay, while Astros suffered two disqualifications in the fly and back relays to slip to fourth on the night behind Talons and Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Flames had a completely bad day in office with no PBs in the individual races and also came bottom in two relays and second last in the other two thereby slipping to third place in the table with 14 points.<\/p>\n<p><b>Match Five Scores<\/b><br \/>\nColts \u2013 330<br \/>\nTalons \u2013 190<br \/>\nJets \u2013 170<br \/>\nAstros \u2013 160<br \/>\nFlames \u2013 60<\/p>\n<p><b>Overall standings<\/b><br \/>\nJets \u2013 21<br \/>\nTalons \u2013 16<br \/>\nFlames \u2013 14<br \/>\nColts, Astros \u2013 12<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
