Page 4th in the 1500, Gilbert to Finals in the 50 Back

On a morning that started out average, the Killer Whales finished it off in style. As reported earlier, Andrea Gilbert swam a time of 32.54 in the 50 back and was thought to be 10th. As it turned out, she ended up 8th and will swim in the National Final tonight at 6:00 pm PST.

Alec Page swam an incredible race in the 13 and under boys 1500 freestyle. Swimming the first 500 meters in 6:02 and holding a strong pace of 1:12's and 1:13's the rest of the way, he posted the 4th fastest time in his age group, narrowly missing the podium in the event by 0.3 seconds. His time of 18:11.7 was 10 seconds faster than his already club record swim at AAA Provincials. His 800 split in the race was 9:41.7, only 3 seconds off the BC PROVINCIAL RECORD for the 800 freestyle for 12 and under boys. He will look to eclipse that mark on Sunday in the 800 free.

Morgan Healy was another standout for CRKW with a time of 20:12.70 in the girls 12 and under 1500 freestyle, placing 13th in Canada for her age group!!! She held a strong pace of 1:21.'s the whole way and finished great on the last 100. Marisa Gorjeu was the other 1500 freestyle competitor for CRKW and her time of 19:25.9 was a best time by 5 seconds and placed her 15th overall in Canada for 13 year old girls!!!

Also, going back to this mornings results, Jared Calder ended up 17th in the 50 free, Andrea Gilbert was 15th in the 50 free and Alec Page was 22nd in the 50 free, an off event for him.
