Provincial Championships
Durham Swimmers Beat a Path to the Podium!

The 2005 Ontario Provincial Championships at The Olympium on February 18-20 featured so many stellar moments for Durham Synchro that it's hard to know where to begin!

Congratulations to coaches Holley Lundmark and Leslie Wickens as their hard-working Tier 6 and Tier 7 athletes walked to the podium a total of 15 times during awards for team, duets, solo and figures.

Team Results

In the Tier 7 team final, Leslie's four-member team had a superb swim and overcame their automatic two-point penalty to pull ahead of Gloucester and take the bronze medal with their dramatic "Battle" routine. Our six Tier 6 swimmers also overcame their one-point penalty to snag the gold over full teams from Olympium and Synchro Optima with their fantastic "Karate" routine. Team members are Alaina Wade, Allie Mear, Julia Maclean, Brianna MacLellan, Katie LePage, and Carrie Mouck. Incredible!

Duets

Tier 6 duets took gold and silver (Julia Maclean/Carrie Mouck, Katie LePage/Brianna MacLellan), while Tier 7 duets posted 6th and 8th place finishes (Chelsey Matthews/Sophie Baetz-Dougan, Katie Cornish/Lindsay Maclean).

Solo

In solo, Tier 6 took three of six podium placements, with Julia Maclean taking the gold, Katie LePage the bronze, and Carrie Mouck and Brianna MacLellan placing 4th and 6th respectively. In Tier 7 solo, Katie Cornish took the bronze medal home.

Figures

In Tier 7 figures competition, Katie Cornish and Chelsey Matthews placed 3rd and 6th respectively, while Tier 6's Katie LePage, Julia Maclean, Carrie Mouck, and Brianna MacLellan took first, second, fifth and eleventh place finishes. Well done!

All Round Swimmer/Aggregate Ranking

In Tier 6, Katie LePage, Julia Maclean, Brianna MacLellan and Carrie Mouck were ranked first, second, third, and fifth respectively in All Round Swimmer, while Julia, Katie, Carrie and Brianna were ranked first, second, fourth and sixth in Individual Aggregate. In Tier 7, Katie Cornish and Chelsey Matthews were ranked 7th and 9th in All Round Swimmer. Katie was ranked 4th in Individual Aggregate.

During the weekend, many of our Tier 6 and Tier 7 athletes qualified to attend Monday's High Performance Training Camp at The Olympium. Thanks to parents who carpooled for the girls and thanks also to coach Leslie Wickens who chaperoned Tier 7 overnight at the Sandalwood.

Congratulations to ALL ATHLETES!
