Date: 27-29 June at Royal Commonwealth Pool, Edinburgh

One year after being diagnosed with brain cancer, Archie Goodburn, who has been diagnosed with brain cancer, has won gold in the 100-meter breaststroke at the Scottish Swimming Championships.

Rafe Dobson, a 24-year-old University of Edinburgh student, fought off the challenge in a comfortable one-minute, 2.42 seconds at Edinburgh’s Royal Commonwealth Pool.

Goodburn entered the race as a strong favorite after finishing second overall at the British Championships in the 50-meter race in April. He is currently training for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2016 and the World University Games in 2020.

This weekend, he will also be aiming to defend his Scottish 50-meter breaststroke crown.
