Killer Whales On Medal Podium on Day1!

Kyron Winkelmeyer, 19, of Fort Nelson, BC, swimming for the Campbell River Killer Whales Swim Club stood proud on the medal podium at the Canadian National Swimming Championships on Day 1 with a 2:21.8 performance in the mens 200 Breaststroke final. His time was almost 8 seconds better than his lifetime best coming into the meet and another 2 seconds better than this mornings preliminary swim. The 200, which is Winkelmeyers weakest of the breaststroke events, shows great promise for the rest of his meet. He swims the 50 breaststroke tomorrow in a showdown against National Record Holder Morgan Knabe of Calgary and the Pacific Sport National Training Center. Other swims to look forward to tomorrow will be Brock and Aven swimming the 200 fly, Kirsten and Brock swimming the 50 breaststroke along with Kyron and Andrea swimming the girls 200 Backstroke. Continue to find results here.
