Day 3 Finals - Age Nationals 2007 - Montreal

Day three only saw two swims from CRKW make it through to the finals but both opportunities were taken full advantage of.

First up was Alec, 5th at the 50 in 29.7, he exploded in the middle 100, splitting 31.9 / 31.9 to take a half second lead at the 150. The swimmer in lane 7, who swam with Alec the whole race, passed him just at the end for a victory, but Alec's time of 2:05.4 was an outstanding swim, good enough for a best time, club record and the silver medal, his third of the meet.

Next up was Kirsten's 100 breast. With less than a second separating 2nd from 10th in this race, the key was to go out fast. Kirsten split 35.6, three tenths faster than her 50 from last night and faded slightly at the end, missing the bronze medal by only a tenth of a second, but moving into 4th place out of lane 0 was no small feat. Her time of 1:17.4 was her second best time ever in the event.

Tomorrow is the last day of competition, with 400 IM, 50 fly, 100 free and 200 breast on the agenda.
