Olympic Trials Come to a Close in Montreal

Olympic Trials wrapped up in Montreal today, with three out of our four competitors taking part in the action.

Strong Showings from Schmidt and Newman on Day 4 of Olympic Trials

Olympic Trials continued today with impressive swims from both Stefanie Schmidt and Rachael Newman.

Newman competed in her best event, the 200 Butterfly, and scored a best time in the morning with 2:17.73.  Her morning time qualified her for the consolation final, where she was a bit slower, but still managed to stay under her previous best time, gliding to 8th place in the B final, with a time of 2:17.82.

Olympic Trials Day 3

Day 3 of Olympic Trials saw Nicholas Sinclair competing in his second A final of the meet, in the 400 Freestyle.  In the morning, Nicholas was in a heat that advanced 5 of the 8 evening swimmers into the final.  With Ryan Cochrane already pre-qualified for the Olympics in this event, the 2nd place person would have had to go 3:48.92 or better to gain a berth on the Olympic team, a big stretch for anyone else in the field.

Day 2 of Olympic Trials

Olympic Trials continued in Montreal today, with two of our swimmers competing in the day’s events. 

Stefanie Schmidt turned out another strong performance in her 100 Backstroke, again just a few tenths over her best time with 1:06.48, which bodes well for her performance in the 200 Backstroke, Schmidt’s best event, on Day 6.

Ian Mattock competed in the 200 Butterfly, scoring a best long course time with 2:08.50.
