| It was a perfect weekend for Ernestown Barracuda swimmers Amanda McCormack
and Allie Duff. Both girls won 6 golds this weekend at the
Eastern Ontario
Swim association's semi-annual meet held at CFB Kingston. All 6 swims were personal best times for 12 year old McCormack. McCormack and Duff won the high point awards for the female catagories...12 and under, and 13 and over. The girls were not the only ones with great results. The Barracuda team finished 3rd out of the 21 teams, including teams that have many more swimmers. 14 year old Laura Perry swam to 2 golds, both in backstroke, with fast enough times to qualify for Eastern Canada's swim meet in 2 weeks. She took 2nd place in the 50 M Back as well. Ryan Coens and Leah Mayer both took home 2 silver medals each. Hannah Sutherland had 1 silver place finish, and 3-bronze finishes. Abigail Sutherland took home 3 bronze medals. Other medal winners included Stefan (that's spelt correctly)Ruksys with a silver in the 1500M race. 11 year old Isaac Kong with a silver in the 50 Breaststroke, Martin Bloestein and Blair Morgan with third place finishes in Breaststroke. Rebecca Cronkwright swam to a bronze finish in the 50 Back. Many of the medal swims, as well as other swims were personal best times for the Barracuda's. |
