Canadian wheelchair racer Michelle Stilwell broke two of her own world records Tuesday to cap a spectacular showing at the Summer Down Under series.
The native of Nanoose Bay, B.C., trimmed a tenth of a second off her 100-metre record, recording a time of 19.42 seconds.
She also raced to a time of 34.97 seconds in the 200 metres to better her previous world mark of 35.22.
Stilwell has posted three world-record performances over three days.
The Summer Down Under series finishes Wednesday with a 10-kilometre road race.
