It's not everyday that somebody who is from here sets a world record. So, we're going to take time out from the usual baloney to congratulate Rosary High School graduate Mary DeScenza, who set a new world record in the women's 200-meter butterfly Wednesday at the world swimming championships.
DeScenza's time of 2:04.14 bested the previous record of 2:04.18, which was held by Liu Zige of China.
UPDATE: Well, that record didn't last long. One day, in fact. Jessica Schipper broke DeScenza's record Thursday with a time of 2:03.41.
