Day Three at Western Canadian Nationals

The weather isn't cooperating much in Winnipeg as it's still pretty cold outside - but things are heating up a bit in the pool here at the Western National Championships. Brock Hoyt was the story of the day, swimming a 200 Breast preliminary time of 2:29.78 which was good enough for 7th place overall and earned him a spot in the A Final of the event. In finals, he was able to knock another 2+ seconds from his time and finish with a time of 2:27.51, placing 7th overall for the team's best result of the championships so far.

In preliminary action, Kirsten Rowbotham was a little off form and placed 19th in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:47.07. Sbe was, however, able to bounce back with a very strong 100 freestyle in 1:03.07. Andrea Gilbert swam her best time this season in the 100 freestyle with a time of 1:02.23.

The meet concludes tomorrow with Brock swimming 100 Breast and 400 IM, Kirsten swimming 100 Breast and Andrea swimming 200 Freestyle.

Hey guys,

Keep up the great work. You guys are doing awesome, remember these people are the best swimmers in Canada, and you are among them.

Brock you must have put on some muscle, these breastroke times are really coming along. Destroy that guy in the swim-off, you can do it.
