Andrew Stevenson October 5, 2010 – 3:55PM

Geoff Huegill has faced plenty of challenges to strip off the weight and get back in the pool in race condition. This morning he learnt there are more to come, in the form of Jason Dunford of Kenya who led the qualifiers through to the semi-final of the 50 metres butterfly. Also strong was South African Roland Schoeman, the third fastest qualifer, behind Huegill.
