Julienne Woods Shatters 15‑Year Record as Neptunes Celebrate Historic Night

Neptunes swimmer Julienne Woods delivered a landmark performance this weekend, breaking the longest‑standing Individual Short Course National Record and igniting celebrations across Malta’s swimming community. Woods rewrote history in the 200m Backstroke, touching the wall in an impressive 2:22.02, surpassing a record that had stood untouched for 15 years.

Her achievement did not end there. Later in the evening, Woods returned to the pool as part of the Neptunes 4x50m Individual Medley Relay team, where she contributed to yet another National Record, underscoring her exceptional form and competitive spirit.

The results also highlight the rapid impact of Head Coach Gurkan Eroksuz, who has been at the helm for just three months. His arrival has coincided with a surge in performance levels, and Woods’ double record‑breaking display stands as the clearest sign yet of the club’s upward trajectory.

Neptunes officials praised both the athletes and the coaching staff, noting that the achievements reflect a culture of discipline, ambition, and unity within the squad. For Woods, the night marks a defining moment in her career, while for Neptunes, it signals a new era of promise and national‑level success.
