More podium finishes for our 11&U swimmers at the 2014 SC AAA Provincial Meet taking place in Kamloops this weekend.

Michael Schmidt took the gold medal and set a new AAA meet record in his 100BR swim and brought home the bronze medals in both the 400IM and 100FR. Jessica Luo capped off her busy day with the silver medal in the 100FR event.

Here are the other  top 8 finishes on the day.

Top 8 Finishes:

Aimeson King swam to 10th place in strong field of 19 international swimmers at the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series 10KM Open Water Challenge.  Aimeson lost the lead pack at the 7km mark, subsequently lead the second pack.  He almost bridged the gap to the front pack at approximately 8.5 KM, but was unable to catch them and continued to swim ahead of the second pack.

Great race Aimeson!

Congratulations to Keir Ogilvie, taking his first Provincial medal with a bronze in the 11&U boys 200m fly.
