Canadian Nationals: Results of First Night
Although many of its stars are just returning from a successful trip to Brazil for the Pan American Games, they did not let it get in their way of swimming lights out at the first night of the Canadian National Championships. The Pan Ams team dominated the winner’s circle as names like Savannah King, Annamay Pierce and Matt Hawes (to name a few) found themselves successfully back in action after the quick turnaround.
15-year old Savannah King once again staked her claim to the up and coming distance crown, as she won the 1500 in 17:07.38. Her UBC Dolphins teammate, Annamay Pierce, followed up the victory with one of her own, within striking distance of the national record in the 50 breast (32.06). It was another Dolphin, Scott Dickens, winning the men’s version in a tightly contested race (28.77, Mike Brown 2nd in 29.92 and Stanford’s Paul Kornfeld 3rd in 28.93).
Another near National Record came from Erica Morningstar in the 200 free (1:59.71). UBC once again came back to put their man on top of the podium though, as Brian Johns came out ahead of veteran Rick Say and distance ace Ryan Cochrane in the 200 free with another sub 1:50 effort (1:49.69 for Johns, 1:51.19 for Say and 1:52.04 for Cochrane). Once again proving that Johns can do it all.
Mackenzie Downing and Audrey Lacroix had a great battle in the 200 fly, with both swimming to 2:10 efforts and Downing just nudging out Lacroix in the end (2:10.84 to 2:10.88). In the upset of the night, Stefan Hirniak was able to beat National Champ Adam Sioui in the 200 fly (2:00.06 to 2:01.13).
The other event winners were Julia Wilkinson (1:02.04 100 back) and Matt Hawes nosing out Pascal Wallach in the 100 back (56.18 to 56.32).
