Stunning Provincial
Results for Revy
(Aug 24th)
Revelstoke Aquaducks had their
best ever results at the BCSSA Provincial Swimming
Championships this past weekend. The Aquaducks flexed their
muscles and won more medals, got more points, and had more
club records broken than at any other provincial
championships that anyone can remember. Richmond's
Watermania was the venue for great Aquaduck results.
In perhaps the most exciting race for the Duck, Bryn
Hoshizaki, Frankie Howe, and sisters Kate and Beth Granstrom
fought back in the Freestyle Relay, and in an amazing come
from behind position, they managed to win a bronze medal.
Great swim girls!
Check
out the results page
for a full set of provincial results (including medal
standings), and new club records.
