Day 2 Finals - Age Nationals 2007 - Montreal

The rain...yeah, it's still here. But we hear that it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. Anyway, we have some finals to talk about.

Up first was Marisa's 200 Fly. After having to take the long way to get there via swim off, she started her race right in the middle of the hardest rain of the day, a veritable monsoon, and was solid again but a little off her morning swim in 2:35. Marisa finished 10th in her very first ever National final. Congratulations to her. Alec was up next and was also a little off his morning swim in 2:24.2, missing the bronze medal by .03, finishing 4th overall.

Kirsten was in lane 1 in tonights 50 breast final and swam her first ever 50 breast LC under 36 in a time of 35.8, making some very good adjustments from her morning swim. In the final swim of the night, Alec swam a very strong 400 free, going head to head for the whole race with the eventual gold medal winner. Alec finished only a second back of the gold with a time of 4:26.8, another best time and club record.

CRKW sits with 117 points, already surpassing their best ever total of 64 points from last season and 61 points from the year before with two days remaining in the meet. Tomorrow's session sees 200 free, 100 breast, 200 back and 100 fly before the 14 and under girls swim the 4 x 100 Medley relay. You can email your best wishes to the swimmers at adahl@uniserve.com
