Swimming: Baker third at World Cup meet

New Zealand swimmer Zoe Bakerhas again finished third in a World Cup short course meeting in New York yesterday.

Baker clocked 30.92s in the 50m breaststroke for third behind Americans Tara Kirk (30.58s) and Megan Jendrick (30.66s).

The former England representative, now based in Christchurch, also took third in the same event at a World Cup short course meeting in Sweden last month.

Baker, who won gold for England in the 50m breaststroke at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, will represent New Zealand at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in March.
