Jasmine Schofield Finishes 5th In Her Heat At The PanAm Junior Games

National swimmer Jasmine Schofield had a 5th-place finish in Heat 2 of the 100m freestyle at the 2025 PanAm Junior Games. Jasmine finished with a time of 1:04.05. Though this time wasn’t good enough for a place in the finals, Jasmine had a commendable effort in the event.

Expressing some disappointment in her performance, Jasmine said that she plans to pace herself better for tomorrow's 50m freestyle race. She said that even after coming off a long swimming season, she gave this race her all. Jasmine said that she has had several changes made this season and she is thankful for the progress she has made thus far, but she will continue working on technique and strength as the season closes.

Swimming Coach, Shaminey Walsh-Dupuis, said that she’s pleased with Jasmine’s performance. Coach Walsh-Dupuis stated that although her time is much slower than her personal best, Jasmine competed well despite her challenges. Coach Dupuis plans to use this race as a guide for Jasmine’s next event in order for Jasmine to produce better results in the pool.

Jasmine will compete in the 50m freestyle on Wednesday, 13th August at 9:00 am PYT/8:00 am ECT. The events will be held at the aquatics complex of The Paraguayan Olympic Committee-Olympic Park in the host city Asuncion.
