Western Canadian National Championships

You know how sometimes you go outside and you say, "wow, it sure is cold?" Well, I don't know if any of the swimmers here at Canadian Nationals in Winnipeg will be saying that in Campbell River any time soon. Last night...-45 with the windchill. Enough said!

After two days here in Winnipeg, Andrea, Kirsten and Brock are swimming GREAT!!! Brock was 32.5 in the 50 breaststroke and 2:19.1 in the 200 IM. His 50 breaststroke was good enough for 14th and his 200 IM was 20th overall, excellent results for his first ever National Competition. Kirsten had a best time in the 50 breaststroke on Thursday (35.92), good enough for 17th and her second best time ever in the 50 freestyle (29.06). Andrea has had three excellent swims, scoring our first points of the meet with a 31.5 in the 50 backstroke on Thursday and then following that up with best times in the 50 freestyle (27.41) and 100 Backstroke (1:07.82). All three swims, along with Kirsten's 50 breaststroke make four new Club Records for the swimmers already, with two days of competition to go.

Andrea will compete in the 100 freestyle tomorrow while Kirsten will swim the 200 Breast and the 100 free. Brock will be looking to crack the top 16 in the boys 200 Breaststroke. Live results can be found by going to www.crkw.ca and following the links.
