ESWIM pulling away after Saturday p.m. session at Ontario Div 1

A gap of more than 100 points now separates ESWIM from second place TSC after the 10&u and 11-12 age group sessions Saturday afternoon in Nepean.  Jillian Stoyan (TSC) and Cino Ling (TSC) scored in the IM, fly, breast and back, but were not enough to counter the depth and strength of the ESWIMmers.  Ross Hagan, Melanya Zaraska, Ross Hagan, Tristan Cote and Matvei Selezen drove ESWIM's 10&u agenda, while Ioana-Maria Negru helped out in the 11-12 category.

 

Relays and a massive list of finals this evening will give some idea if there is any hope for a TSC comeback, or for another hopeful club to rise from the also-rans...

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).

Early sessions put ESWIM ahead in Div 1

ESWIM showed depth in the youmger age groups and the older 400fr swimming to take a strong lead after the first day of Division 1 Championships in Nepean. With a points tally of nearly twice their nearest rival TSC, ESWIM will particularly thank their 13-14y 400fr boys and girls who scored 46 points for the club. TSC relied on the strong 15-16 and 17&o girls, as well as their impressive group of 11-12 boys in the 50fr.

NYAC also had a good Friday evening, a close third behind TSC after high scores in the boys 11-12 100fl and girls 11-12 400fr.

Many more twists and turns lie ahead this weekend before the champions are crowned to decide who has the happiest bus ride home late Sunday night.

Results after Friday sessions:
182 pts ESWIM
82 TSC
81 NYAC
43 DS
40.5 NKB
