Leading the assault was Aimee Peacock, 14, who smashed a pool record on her way to a four wins/iwo seconds tally. Peacock’s record of 37.63 seconds in the Senior Gils 50m breast stroke carved more than two seconds off the old mark of 40 sec- onds even. Her other victories came in the 200m indi- vidual medley, 100m breast stroke and 50m butterfly where she only just squeezed out team mate Jocelyn Coxford by.3/100ths of a “second,” Almost as clase, but the wrong way, were Peacock’s two munner-up-performances where she missed out by only 9/100ths in the 100m free style and 14/100ths in the 50m free. Peacock was named the meet’s top senior girls competitor. Timbermen cruise to top spot — A rampaging offence led by the FLYING FORM.

Delivering on last season’s promise, the 10- year-old ended the mect with two wins, three seconds and secand overall in her age group. David Vanderlce’s two wins, three seconds ~ earned him third’ overall in‘ senior boys while’ *~ Jason Kumpolt took fourth among 9-10 ycars boys. ; - Although the Bluebacks could finish no bet- ter than third in the four team meet, coach Mike Carlyle said he was in no way dis- pleased by the result. group. Audrey Erb {below) went one better in her 9-10 picked up two wins and three thirds. The club is looking for even more impressive performances when it heads to the Kitimat meet held at the end of next month. - With the Bluebacks only just back in train- ing, he’d not been too concerned with plac- ings and times at the Rupert mect. Instead, it had been an opportunity for the new coach to assess his swimmers’ techniques and skills and establish where there was room for improvement. As a result, the Bluebacks are now going to be spending more time working on their starts and tums, he added, | : Host club Prince Rupert won the mect fro Kitimat, Terrace and Masset. Carlyle pointed out the final points standings reflected a decision to limit the number of races cach Blueback entered: ‘That was: takén -because of the limited: pool-- time they’d had prior to the competition. However, things will be quite different when they head for Kitimat’s meet in late Novem- ber. “We'll be entering as many as possibic there,” Carlyle said.
