Day 2 Prelims - Age Nationals 2007 - Montreal
The skies opened today. Big time. Yet somehow through the blowing winds, hard rain and 15 degree weather or cooler, we managed to swim ok and move three swimmers through to finals in four different events.
The 200 fly was first off. Alec picked up a best time and club record with a 2:23.9 and will swim in lane 6 in tonights final. Marisa swam a 2:34.8 to tie for 11th place and had to have a swim off for the first alternate position. In the swim off, she overcame a 1.5 second deficit at the 150 to storm back and out-touch and out-tough her competitor from Etobicoke to win the swim off by .15. Immediately after the swim off, she was informed that there was a scratch in the final, meaning she will swim in tonights final in lane 9 in 10th place. Taylor had a good 200 fly, splitting in 1:20 and finishing in 2:49.0.
In the 100 back, Aven was our only competitor and, although she was not a best time, she had a very strong swim in 1:11.6 just after the storm broke. She was fast out at the 50 and won her heat with a strong race.
In the 50 breaststroke, Aven and Morgan were both best times in 37.7 and 39.0 respectively while Kirsten was slightly over her best time in 36.11 but was good enough for a club record and a 7th place finish, putting her in lane 1 in tonights final.
Finally, there were the 400 freestyles. Keep in mind, it's now been raining hard for about 4 hours and we're starting to get a little cold. Taylor was 5:02 and Marisa 4:51...enough said. Alec put in a great swim under the circuimstances in 4:27.9 and will swim in tonights final in lane 3 going in third.
In the girls relay, their splits of 1:02.9 (Aven - Club Record), 1:08.8 (Morgan), 1:06.0 (Taylor) and 1:03.3 (Marisa - 10 minutes after her 200 fly swim off) made up a time of 4:21.0 which was 4 seconds under their entry time, good enough for at least 15th place after tonights final heat.
Finals resume at 2:30 pm PDT.
