Final Standings - Age Nationals 2007 - Montreal

The final standings are in and yes, we are on the first page!!! 43rd overall was the the final result, which is impressive in itself. However, when you look a little closer, you will see that we did much better than that. Far be it from be to make excuses for not living in a large center, because I don't believe in that, but we were the third best team at the meet for teams that don't live in a major center (ie: Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon). Only Vernon (pop 40,000) and Whitehorse (30,000) beat us in the team standings. However, a closer look reveals that all of Vernons points came from one swimmer (380 points - 26th) and all of Whitehorse's points (340 points - 33rd) came from 2 swimmers. We had three swimmers in finals at the meet, plus a scoring relay which neither of the two other teams could say.

Every one of the 6 swimmers that we brought to the meet contributed to the success of the team. Alec Page scored 167 points on his own for the boys (which turned out to be 4.5 points more than the whole Island Swimming team could manage for the boys) while the girls came up with 65 points on their own, 9 from the girls relay, 9 from Marisa's 200 fly and 47 from Kirsten's 4 individual finals in the 50 free, 50 breast, 100 breast and 200 breast.
