Day Four Report from the 2014 Western Canadian Championships

The fourth day of competition at Westerns proved another great one for PCS. The evening began with 200 Fly. Jordan Andrusak was swimming her 22nd race of the weekend. She qualified 3rd in prelims and was just off her best. In the finals race her first 50 was blistering and she left he field behind setting a new PB at 100m and never looked back snapping 5 sec of her best to take the gold.

Vicky Mock swam an excellent technical race (her 15th) finishing 10th overall in the Open division.

Justin Howe had a strong night swim to come 15th overall. While his time was off his prelim time of 2:14 he again showed technical improvement and heart.
