A symbol of national pride, Marco Diaz has once again put the name of the Dominican Republic in the headlines and on the map. Diaz swam the Clean Half Marathon in Hong Kong and established a new record for the race, completing the course in 3 hours, 21 minutes and 44 seconds. "I am very happy. To come in first place in our last international competition is like a dream." The previous fastest mark was 3 hours and 24 minutes. Event organizer Doug Woodring said that Diaz was a great swimmer. This was Diaz's last race of 2009 and will determine his schedule for 2010.
