AAA's Day 4 - PCS Wins Third Consecutive Provincial Championships in Style

After a terrific weekend of racing for Uvic - Pacific Coast Swimming, it was only fitting to finish it off with a bang. Near the start of the night, the Girls 15-16 400 IM A Final with no less than 6 swimmers, finishing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th! Not only that, we even had 2 more swimmers in the B Final of the same event! After some more great swimming from across the board, the 12 and Under Boys Relay again struck gold in another National Age Group Record, this time in the 4x50 Medley Relay in a time of 2:05.34! Congratulations to Darius Morrison, Michael Schmidt, Keir Ogilvie and Brendan Fitzpatrick,as well as their coach Ian Mattock!

These are just a few highlights in the plethora of great Finals and Prelim swims over the 4 day meet that culminated enough points to secure UVPCS' Third Consecutive AAA Team Championship!  We had a true team effort over the weekend to achieve this, gathering points in as many age groups and events as we possibly could.  Without our depth in talent and work ethic this would not have been possible.
