Western Canadian Open Day 4 Recap

Multiple medals in 200 fly lead the way for Pacific Coast Swimming on the last day of competition.

Day 4 of the Speedo Western Canadian Open started off with a bang, as Jessica Luo continued her weekend roll and captured a bronze medal in Women’s 15 & Under 200 fly. Her time of 2:21.84 was a personal best by over five seconds, and under the Olympic Trials standard. On the men’s side of things, Lucas Tyler swam to a silver medal in the 16 & Under 200 fly. Coming home strong, Tyler moved up from 5^th to 2^nd during the last 50 metres of the race, to touch the wall in a time of 2:07.63.

It was a quick turnaround for Luo, as she was back in the water for 50 free less than 30 minutes after her impressive 200 fly performance. Finishing 4^th place in the B Final, she once again posted a best time and gained valuable points for the Pacific Coast Swimming crew.

Jordan Andrusak and Allison Ballantyne swam to 1^st and 6^th places respectively in the Women’s 16 & Over 200 IM B Final. Andrusak’s blistering finals time of 2:23.73 would have placed her 5^th position in the A Final of the event.

In the last event of the weekend for the Bolts, the relay team of Lauren Crisp, Jordan Andrusak, Jessica Luo and Molly Gowans posted an impressive 7^th place finish, despite some of the team swimming under the weather. Their time of 2:01.77 set a new 15 to 17 Year Old Club Record, as well as a Women’s Open Club Record.
