Another rocking night for UVPCS.  Jordan Andrusak finished second in hte B Final in 200 IM.  Jon McKay finished 5th overall in the Men's 400 Free and Erin Lawrance 8th with a Personal Best in the A final of 400 Free.  Luo, Andrusak, Bennett and Lawrance set 15-17 VIR and Senior Club record in hte 4x100 Freestyle.

Well done Bolts!!  The Girls team finished in 11th spot, and second BC team.  UVPCS overall is 12th.

The last day of Age Group Nationals started with an early morning drive to the small lake.  It was pretty chilly, but the PCS swimmers braved the 19 degree water and gave it all they had. 

We want to say farewell to coach Pawel, and thank him for his amazing efforts and contribution this year to the PCS family.  Pawel is now gone back to Poland, and he made sure to thank everyone for their generosity and fun around the pool this season.

The last night at Talisman Centre was definitely not boring.

The team’s first gold medal of the night went to Sophie Lorette in the girls 400 freestyle. Lorette was out a bodylength ahead of everyone at the 100 meter mark, with a starting split of 1.04.36, and kept a strong pace throughout the whole race and brought it home in the last 100, and with a final time of 4.35.25, put herself on top of the podium.

The fourth finals session of the meet started off well enough, with a solid swim by Hanna Edwards in the 100 back, who moved up one spot and came in 6^th with a time of 1:08.77. Lauren Crisp also had a good performance in her 100 back, and came in 5^th with 1:04.07.

Day three at the smokin’ hot Talisman Centre, and PCS swimmers-despite altitude and heat- did not disappoint.  The first finals swimmer was 16 year old Sophie Tarrant, who recently competed at New Zealand’s Olympic Trials, and swam the 100 breastroke with a speedy 1:14.33, came in 6^th in the 16-18 year old category.

When reporting on Steph's win yesterday, I failed to realize the historical aspect of her result.  As the first ever Canadian Woman to win a World Cup event, hopefully Steph will pave the way and inspire other Canadians to strive for excellence in Open Water events.  There is a great history of Open Water Swimming in Canada, and this could be a stepping stone towards years of success for Canadians in the sport.

Day 2 of Age Group Nationals presented success as 
well as frustration with Relay disqualifications as PCS 
continues to fight hard in Calgary.

Jessica Luo started things off right for PCS by winning 
the 100 Freestyle for 14 year olds in a Best Time of 58.18.

Three Bronze Medal performances followed, as Hana 
Edwards fought her way up from 8th to grab the Bronze 
in the 13 year olds 400 IM in a time of 5:19.55, Jordan
