Day 1 Finals - AAA Provincial AAA Championships
Day 1 Finals saw some exciting finals and the best relays I've ever seen!!! More on the relays in a moment.
Alec had a big night, starting the night off with a mamoth 1500 freestyle where he beat his own club record and best time by over 30 seconds, recording a silver medal performance of 18:21.6. Less than 10 minutes later, he had to contend in the 100 freestyle. With a very tough fought performance of 1:03.6, he was rewarded with a bronze medal. Kirsten Rowbotham had a lifetime best time and club record in the 100 free consolation final with a 1:03.5.
Andrea Gilbert was our only 100 backstroke of the night and her time of 1:10.8 was the same as her morning swim and only slightly slower than her lifetime best time in the event.
400 IM's were last and Alec Page, still smarting a bit from his swims earlier in the evening, had a better swim from heats and recorded his third medal of the night, a silver, in the event.
Then came the relays and boy oh boy were they good!!!
The 12 and under girls were first and they all swam out of their minds, stepping up from 9th seed to score in 7th place overall. Split of 31.7 (Taylor), 32.3 (Morgan), 31.3 (Jennifer) and 31.9 (Jocelyn) put them in at a 2:07.6, a club record. The 13 and 14 girls, not to be outdone, swam this clubs very first LC free relay for girls under 2 minutes, setting a club record with a 1:59.99. Kirsten (28.9), Jane (30.4), Marisa (29.6) and Taylor (31.3) combined for the record setting swim.
Maybe the most exciting relay of the night was the 12 and under boys. Seeded 5th and looking to move up, their time of 2:02.4 was outstanding and good enough for the bronze medal. Alec (29.1), Tylor (31.8), David (31.0) and Carter (30.4) combined for the event, coming within half a second of the gold.
CRKW currently sits in 13th place after the first day, their best opening day in many years.
