2013 Age Group Nationals - Day One Report

Great night for our crew. Four medals and three more top 6 finishes!

200 Backstrole - 13 year old girls
Lauren Crisp left no doubt who was going to top the podium leading decisively from start to finish with a winning time of 2:19.68.

Molly Gowans in her first Canadian Age National final bit off a lot on the first 25. Her enthusiasm cost her a bit in the overall race and was just off her morning performance. However her great effort put her in the bronze position on the podium.

200 Backstrole - 17-18 boys
Evan Letkeman cut .6 off his best and swam a tactically stong race for sixth spot. He went for it on the first 50 to begin in 2nd - layed off the middle of the race a bit too much and had a lot left for last 50.

50 Breaststroke - 12 year old girls
Blair McDowell ties down her best finishing just out of the medals at fifth in 36.33

50 Breaststroke - 14yr girls
Jordan Andrusak lowered her club record yet again this season - narrowly missing the regional record and claiming her first podium performance at :34.68

1500 Freestyle - 16-18 girls
Vicky Mock smashed her best time and claimed her first pool Age National medal leaping on the podium for the bronze. 17:27.65

Rounded out the night with four medals. Very strong first day.
