Punahou senior Christel Simms, swimming for the Philippines, finished 47th out of 90 in the 50-meter freestyle heats today in the National Aquatics Center at the Beijing Olympics.
Simms finished in 26.64 seconds. The cutoff time for the top 16 advancing to the semifinals was 25.07. Cate Campbell of Australia led the heat qualifiers in 24.20.
USA’s Dara Torres qualified with the third best time in 24.58.
Simms, who completed her Olympics, also missed qualifying for the semifinals in the 100 freestyle earlier this week.
Brown Nation would like to wish GOOD LUCK to Christel Simms as she represents the Philippines in the sport of swimming for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Brown Nation is proud to release Cultural Heritage T-shirt (A tribute to Jose Rizal).
This is a short-preorder, shirts will ship in Mid-August! PRE-ORDER NOW to get in on the first run!
A tribute to Jose Rizal - An intellectual, artist, a writer, world traveler, and even a ladies man, Jose Rizal was a jack-of-all-trades. To his friends he was a “gem of a man” while his enemies considered him to be a great threat, and rightly so, for he became one of the most influential leaders of the Philippine Revolution. Persecuted for his beliefs, Rizal was made a martyr in 1896 and is considered a national hero.
