Japanese swimmer hospitalized

Maki Mita, a member of the Japanese Olympic team, collapsed and had to be taken to a local hospital after competing in two events at the Santa Clara Grand Prix on Saturday.

Mita finished the women's 800 relay when she began having trouble breathing, cramping and suffering from chills according to a meet official.

Mita was treated for more than 25 minutes before being taken to a nearby hospital.

According to a Japanese team official, Mita was "OK," but would be kept overnight.

Also at the Santa Clara Grand Prix, Peter Vanderkaay broke the American record in the 400 freestyle Saturday, winning in 3 minutes, 43.82 seconds.
