Day 3 Finals

Day three was another successful day at VIR champs for CRKW swimmers. Congratulations to David John Palmer for making his first ever AAA cut in the boys 100 freestyle with a time of 1:10.76. Great job Dave!!!

More club records were the norm on the final day of competition. The 10 and under girls team of Karlyn Healy, Marissa Boyle, Jocelyn Cormier and Kiersten Padington broke their second relay record of the weekend, this time in the medley relay, posting a fast time of 2:49.59, almost two seconds under the time from last seasons team. Well done.

The 10 and unders weren't done though with many club records and medals were garnered. Jocelyn Cormier and Karlyn Healy went silver / bronze in the girls 200 freestyle with Cormier breaking her own club record. Finn Page also recorded a silver medal in the boys event. Hayden Arbour recorded a bronze medal performance in the 10 and under boys 50 backstroke while in the 50 freestyle, Page equalled his last swim with a silver while Jocelyn Cormier and Marissa Boyle went 1-3 in the girls 50 free, Cormier breaking another club record in the process. Page continued on in the 50 fly with a silver while Cormier continued her torrid pace with a gold in the 50 fly as well. Tyler Cowan rounded out the medal haul by our 10 and unders with a bronze in the 100 breaststroke.

The 11 and overs, swimming in that evenings finals were equally impressive. Kirsten Rowbotham knocked 9 seconds from her personal best time in the 400 freestyle to finish 5th with a 4:52.8 while finishing the night with a 3rd place finish and a new club record in the 100 freestyle, posting an impressive time of 1:03.6.
