Sports TheReview Wednesday, June 12,1991 — A24 Parfitt wins national high school heavy single rowing title* by Girard Hengen The Review Moving quickly up the rowing ladder are two Parkland Secondary School students who can count themselves among the best high schoolers in Canada. Adam Parfitt, a Grade 11 stu- dent, and Caroline Morris, who is in Grade 10, recently competed in the Canadian High School Cham- pionships in St. Catharines, Ont. In the under 20 category, Parfitt, a 17-year-old, won the men’s heavy single title, beating out a national junior team member. And Mortis, 15, placed fourth in the single women’s race in the under 20 class. Both showings mean the ath- letes are moving up in the rowing world, says teacher Gord Redlin, who has coached the pair and accompanied them to the national meet. “One of the guys (Parfitt) beat went to the world juniors last year,” he said. “It gives him a chance to make the Canadian national team.” He said Parfitt had a “very, very mature, well-planned race.” He was fourth at the half-way point of the 2,000m race, but charged into the lead in a well- uumed burst at the finish. Redlin said he won by three- quarters of a boat length. “It was a very mature race plan for a younger athlete,” said Redlin. Morris had “just a fantastic race, and again, a mature race for her,” he said. “She came in fourth in the country, which is an excellent result for a first time at this level.” She was edged out of third in the 2,000m race by about a boat length, he said. Redlin said the Parkland pair almost didn’t make it to the high school championships because the club where they train did not intend to go. He made the arrangements, and Piranhas nip Kigoos for first-place finish The Peninsula-based Piranhas Swim Club knocked off a swim- ming power by placing first overall at a meet last weekend. The Piranhas finished at the top of a field of eight teams, which included the Richmond Kigoos, provincial champions from last year. “We had a really good weekend, some impressive swims and lots of best times recorded,” said assist- ant coach Cathy Hanan. The team took part in the Boundary Bay Invitational in Tsawwassen June 8-9. Other teams hailed from North Delta, Ladner, White Rock, Esqui- malt, Victoria and Nanaimo. For the Piranhas, winning the ageregate title for Division 1 was Chris Aspin, who won the 50m freestyle, 100m individual medley (IM), 50m fly and 50m _ back- stroke. He earned 28 out of a possible 28 points. Steven Tait was the aggregate winner for Division 4. He won the 100m breaststroke and backstroke and was second in the 100m freestyle. Runner-up in Division 4 aggre- gate was Jennifer Aspin. She was second in the 200m IM, 50m fly and 100m backstroke. Also, Janice Hanan was the aggregate runner-up in Division.5 action. She recorded firsts in the 100m backstroke and freestyle, and seconds in the 200m IM and 100m fly. Other top place finishers were: Corinne Hanan, Division 2 50m freestyle; Cameron Lockhart, 6 and under 25m freestyle and back- stroke; Ewan Dewolf, Division 3 50m backstroke in 37.90 seconds, a new pool record; and Jennifer Dewolf, Division 7 100m freestyle in 1:06.40, also a new pool record. Piranhas placing second were: Allison Lockhart, Division 1 50m backstroke and 100m IM; Leah Cooke, Division 5 100m back- stroke; Kimmy Tyndall, Division 3 50m _ breaststroke; and Jennifer Deane, Division 5 100m breast- stroke. New club records were set by Jennifer Dewolf, in Division 7 100m freestyle, and by Jennifer Deane, in Division 5 100m breast- ‘Information line 1-800- | 663-4242 * _ €anadian Cancer Soc stroke. And in addition to the meet records by Ewan and Jennifer Dewolf, new standards were set by the Division 4 girls’ and boys’ 200m freestyle relay teams.
