Small swim team pleased wiih B.C.s The Parkland Secondary swim team proved that bigger doesn’t always mean better Team spokesman Cathy Hannan said the small Parkland squad had its moments in the limelight by winning three medals in Nanaimo at the B.C. high school champion- ships last weekend. ‘A glittering performance was tumed in by Stefan Jakobsen, who came within a second of setting a new B.C. record in the 100-metre breaststroke event. Competing among some of the province’s top swimmers in a large field of junior level swimmers, Jakobsen surged ahead to win the gold medal in his event, she said. Jennifer Dean also helped the team’s strong showing with a sil- ver medal performance in the girls’ 50-metre breaststroke, Han- nan said. And the girls’ freestyle relay team also excelled by winning a bronze medal, she said. Relay team members were Mary Campbell, Flori Kipot, Sarah Mossman and Jenny De Wolf. Also turning in a fine perform- ance were Hannan, Leah Cooke, De Wolfe and Dean who placed fifth in the 200-metre medley relay finals. An identical placing was earned by the mixed medley relay team. Members were Dean, Hannan, Kevin Smith and Robert Carlow. Smith also combined with Colin De Wolfe, Neville Harding and Chris Newman to earn a seventh place finish in the 200-metre freestyle race.
