Day One Results - Age Nationals - Montreal

Day one started with a bang...then the rain came.

Kirsten was the first swim of the meet and what a great swim it was. With a blistering time of 27.99 in the girls 50 freestyle, she not only became the first CRKW girl ever to swim the 50 free under 28 seconds long course, she qualified 10th to swim in tonights A final. She was a touch slower tonight but still finished in 10th place overall in the 15 year old girls age group. Following Kirstens 50 free this morning was Alec's 200 IM where he improved his time by 3 seconds, swimming a 2:26.7, qualifying 6th for tonights final. Improving his fly and breast splits in tonights final, he dropped another second in the final and finished in 7th place overall. The third individual swim this morning was Aven's 50 back where she improved her time and club record by half a second, swimming the race in 33.1, missing the final by a mere .06 seconds, placing 11th.

In the 1500 freestyle, the skies opened. The rain started half way through Alec's race and continued and strengthened and, by the time we ended with Morgan's swim, it was in full force. Marisa swam her second best time ever but was a little off her time. Taylor was under her best LC time and made the qualifying standard LC while Morgan was over her best time. Alec swam a best time of 17:23.9 which was the fastest time in his age group to that point but that time was bettered in the next heat, leaving him in second place with the silver medal.
