Going into the 100m breast stroke event with a best time of 1:33.51, Andolfatto carved five SCC: _ onds off that in the heats, And. he improved still further.in the final, clock- ing 1:27.27 to win the: goid, a full ‘second clear: of a _ his nearest pursucr, . - The improvement was even ‘mare . marked in the 200m breast where he took seven seconds off in the heat and another five in the final to” finish in 3:04.99, This time, however, he had‘to settle for sil- ver only 3/10ths ofa second shy of topspot. 9. ‘Equally impressive was. the performance of Chris Kerman who also blew away personal bests to col- lect two medals in the backstroke, He opencd his 200m heat with an eight ‘second improvement, the third fastest time in the qualifiers. . There was more to come, however, in a “thrifler final finish which saw three swimmers touch almost. - simultancously, When the electronic timers delivered their verdict, : Kerman. had snatched second’ place in 2:47.40, a stunning .13. second. improvement on his previous best going into the meet. And he was ‘involved in another blanket finish in” the 100m back, taking the bronze in 1:19.40, a five . second improvement. Pointing out Kerman’s 200m back time easily beat the ‘AAA’ qualifying mark, coach Mike Car- lyle said the aim now was to get Kerman to the long course ‘AAA’ provincial championships this sum- mer. The long course season is where Jamic Kerman, 13, is expected to move up into event finals, Competing in the 13-14 years division, Carlyle said the larget at the Surrey meet was just lo gel Jamie to beat his personal bests. And, he added, he did just that in all four of his events, slicing four to five seconds off his 200m times. “He really rose ta the occasion,’’ Carlyle said, “stressing careful step-by-step progress was the aim. Although not in the medals, ‘Marina Checkley tumed in the most spectacular Blueback swim when it came to setting new personal marks. Carlyle said the 13 year-old hit the water in the 800m free style with a previous best of 12:15.52, When she climbed out of the pool at the end of the ‘race, she had lowered it by an amazing 49 seconds to finish eighth overall. And that despite having missed a lot of training in the weeks prior to the ‘AA’s owing to illness. ~ Based on her performances this year and the fact she still has another year swimming in this age group, Carlyle predicted Checkley will be ‘AAA’ material next year and a finalist. The same went for Chris Kerman, he added.
