Canadian Swimming Trials wrapped up this weekend, and BC Provincial Records were broken 3 times over the meet! We would like to congratulate Laon Kim (Hyack Swim Club) for breaking the LCM 13-14 Men 100m Freestyle record and the LCM 13-14 Men 200m Medley record. He broke the 100m Freestyle record with a time of 52.84. In the 200m Medley, he broke the record in prelims with a time of 2:09.94 then lowered it even more in finals with a time of 2:08.70.
He has previously broken 4 provincial records this season in the Men 13-14 Short Course Meters 200m Freestyle, 200m Medley, 100m Freestyle and 100m Butterfly.
Congrats UBC Thunderbirds on your performance at the USports Championships. They brought home the Men’s Championship Title and 4 Provincial Records! We would like to recognize the following swimmers for breaking provincial records:
Tayden De Pol – Open Men SCM 50m Backstroke – 23.54
Danielle Hanus – Open Women SCM 50m Backstroke – 26.45
Danielle Hanus – Open Women SCM 100m Backstroke – 56.60
Tayden De Pol, Justice Migneault, Keir Ogilvie, Blake Tierney – Open Men SCM 4 x 100m Medley Relay – 3:29.74
It has been exciting having provincial records fall this season! We can’t wait to hopefully see more fall next week during Trials. Congrats swimmers.
