Taking the silver in that divi- sion was teammate Marina Checkley, another who had a strong meet. She swam to one win and six seconds in her events, posted five personal bests (PBs) and picked up her fourth ‘AAA’ time with a 2:43.10 in the 200m IM, improving a full six seconds from her time going into the meet. ' Kevin Andolfatto marked his last regional meet as a 14 year old with a gold medal per- formance which included lowering the pool record in the 200m Breast by more than a second. “He also posted four PBs — ironically, the pool record was not one of them. Carlyle pointed out that with fellow Bluebacks Garth Cox- ford (broken bones in. his hand) and Chris Kerman (leg fracture) still out of action, Andolfatto had little compeli- tion at the meet, making the times all the more noteworthy. “Tristan will have an easy time getting into the top 50 rankings when he swims at the provincials.”........ Carlyle Another golden performance came from Tristan Brown, 12, winning five of his events and taking the runner-up spot in the other two. Carlyle was particularly pleased with Brown’s Fly races. He took six seconds of his previous fastest 200m and improved three seconds in the 100m to post his fifth ‘AAA’ time, “really quick times we knew he had in him,’’ Carlyle said, ‘He'll have an easy time getting into the top 50 rank- ings when he swims at the provincials,’’ he added, Seth Downs (Boys 15 years ‘Audrey Erb (Girls years) and Jamie Kerman ‘ and up) and Liam Murphy (10 years and under Boys) each | brought home a silver while 11-12 (Boys 15 years and up) bronzed, Carlyle said the meet results: also proved the value of train- ing. Pointing to Marcie Pritchard (6 for 7 on PBs) and Jennifer Kester (7 for 7) as ex- amples, he noted, ‘‘The hard: work really paid off,” Also putting together perfect PB performances were Kaya Downs, Jason Kumpolt, Cole Nystrom and Keagan Soutar. Looking ahead, Andolfaito will be the lone Blueback tak- ing on the nation’s best at the Junior Nationals. They're being held in the . Commonwealth Pool in Vic- toria, Feb. 10-12 and Carlyle expected some good times from Andolfatto. “It’s a good opporlunily for him to get a good ranking in Canada as a 14 year old,’’ he said. As for the provincial ‘AAA’ championships, scheduled for the first weekend in March, six Bluebacks have so far qualified in enough events to make the trip — Brown, Erb, Coxford, Chris Kerman, Seth Downs and Marina Checkley.

As the car tire hits a speed bump the tire gets ¥] pressured up, (the shock absorbs the bump) ¢ on the other side of the bump the — shock pushes the tire back down. . This is the way we should use our legs. Instead of hitting a bump with stiff legs, absorb the bump and extend your legs on the other side. ‘This allows us to have a smooth ride and keep our skis turning. Next time you're out try this idea on every bump.
