Quebec's top clubs go head-to-head in the pool this weekend at the Province's Division 1 Championships. CAMO have taken an early lead in overall points (426), over Pointe Claire (397), Club de Natation CSQ (252), Samak (248), CNPPO (217) and Rouge et Or (212).
Point Claire Swim Club Friday showed their dominance in the 11-12y age group, sweeping the girl's 200Fl (Gabrielle Murphy, Sarah Kennedy and Bianca Grasso) and taking a 1-2 in the boy's (Nicholas Quigley and James Guest).
Raphaelle Charron (28.96s) and Yasmine Mekallach (29.77s) put CAMO on the podium in the 11-12 girls 50Fr, while Antoine Villeneuve (CNCSQ) took the boy's short sprint in 29.15s.
In this year of breaking records, Quebec's Age Group Provincial Records stayed safely untouched, but some exciting racing kept spectators on the edge of their seats. The 15-16y boy's 100Fr was won by Pascal-Hugo Cantin (Rouge et Or), who touched the wall just 0.2s ahead of Taylor Bond (PCSC).
Girl's 200IM finals were won convincingly by Gabrielle Murphy (PCSC, 11-12y), Ashley McGregor (PCSC, 13-14y) and Genevieve Cantin (Rouge et Or, 15-16y). Point Claire took gold in all the age group boy's 200IM finals (Nicholas Quigley, Lyam Dias and Daniel Jensen).
