*See original story here* VANCOUVER – The University of Victoria Vikes swimming teams had a successful Day 1 of the 2019 U SPORTS Odlum Brown Swimming Championships, hosted Feb. 21-23 at the UBC Aquatics Centre in Vancouver. Three short course and three long course school records were broken, while Vikes Danielle Hanus and Josh Zakala medalled in their individual events.

The final points totals from VIR Champions have come in, and UVPCS won as a team on both the Women's and Men's side of the competition.  Our Women earned 3589.5 points to Island's 3193.5, and our Men earned 4333 points to Island's 3095.5.  Congratulations to the whole UVPCS family!

We had three swimmers head over to Adelaide, Australia for the weekend to compete at the Australian Open Water Nationals.  Jon McKay, Eric Hedlin and Chris Deegan all competed in both the 10km race as well as the 5km Time Trial competition.

The 5km race was fairly successful for the PCS crew - Jon McKay took home the Silver Medal in a time of 54:50.90, Eric Hedlin ended up 4th 55:04.94, and Chris Deegan finished 13th in 59:28.47.  

Well the 2019 UVPCS Xmas Cracker Meet has been pulled and all the prizes inside given out! Congratulations to all the swimmers and coaches for some great racing and fun times at the pool.

Events like this take the time and efforts of many people to plan and organize.  We want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the organizers and volunteers for their time and hard work in making Cracker a success!

And finally, we wish all of our PCS Family and Friends a safe and happy holidays, and look forward to seeing you again at the pool in 2019!
