Page 5th, Calder 9th on Day 4.

Jared Calder pulled out the swim of the day on the Sunday of Age Group Nationals in Calgary, clocking a time of 27.46 in todays 50 Fly. An improvement of two seconds, he narrowly missed the final by 0.05 seconds.

While the 200 Breasts and 100 Free's were average, the 800 Freestyles were excellent. Marisa got us off on the right foot. After a blazing 32.22 in her 50 Fly, she posted a very strong 10:02.4 in the 800 Free, 5 seconds under her best time from AAA's. Next up was Morgan, who posted a time of 10:51.2 which was 8 seconds better than her AAA's swim but off of her split from the 1500 on Thursday.

The last swim of the swason for our team was Alec,s 800, where he was looking for a Provincial Record in the event. In a very brave race, Alec split well but didn't quite have enough for the record but did finish 5th in a time of 9:42.2.

The Killer Whales finish the meet with 64 points, 4 more than last year with 5 scoring top 8 swims in Canada.

Congratulations.
