Day 2 Preliminaries

Day two was a very good day for us at the Christmas Cracker. Morgan Healy swam in the very first heat of 400 IM and posted a 6:10.9 to qualify in 6th place for tonights final. Kirsten Rowbotham swam her 100 breaststroke in 1:18.41, narrowly eclipsing the Western Canadian Championships standard of 1:18.43 and qualifies to swim at the Western National Swimming Championships in Winnipeg this February. Carter Gorjeu, 10, also qualified to swim the 100 breast final and made his very first AAA time for 11-12 boys in the event. Later that day he clocked a time of 22:07 in his first 1500 freestyle, qualifying in that event as well. Joining Gorjeu in the final is Alec Page. Page and Gorjeu will also team up in the boys 100 fly where Gorjeu is entered into the final in first place. Brock Hoyt is also in the final of the boys 15 and over 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:10.9. He needs to swim the event under 1:10.1 to make his very first Western Canadian Championship Qualifying time in the finals tonight.
