400IM swimmers add points at Ontario Div 1

This morning the 400IM swimmers had their chance to score for their teams before the prelims began. Although way under his seed time, Sean Francis Domingo (TSC) won for the 13-14y boys in 4:56.26, but ESWIM increased their points lead with a 4th, 5th and 7th places (Abdel-Khalik, Khan and Pond).

Bogdon Knezevic (ESWIM) led home the 15-16y boys ahead of Ryan Cockell (NKB) and the TSC duo of Jeremie Holdon and David Dorian. GMAC's Andrew Ford won in the 17&o boys.

Overall, TSC cut ESWIM's lead in the 15-16y girl's 400IM finals, with strong swims from Paige Schultz (1st), Rebecca Hinds (3rd), Kayleigh Heard (5th), Jenna Bull (6th), and Kathryn MacKinnon (8th). ESWIM's Monika Stitski and Alex Komarnycky took 1st & 2nd in the 17&o girls 400IM to redress the balance.

In the 13-14y girls, Sinead Russell (DS) swam a blistering 4:53.88 to take first place, touching the wall 15s ahead of Julie Calvert (BAD).
