Richmond Fast Swim - Elsinga and Chee qualify for age groups
The senior and junior 2 groups had a strong showing this weekend at the Richmond Fastswim to end off their competitions for 2008.
Katie Elsinga (senior) was on fire, qualifying not only for her AAAs for 15 year olds, but getting two 15 year old age group national cuts in the 50 Fly and 50 Back and a western qualifying standard in the 50 Fly. Also qualifying for age groups was Lester Chee (junior 2) in the 200 breast for 13 year olds.
Lucas Ng (junior 2) also had a great weekend qualifying for winter AAAs in the 50 free for 13 year olds and Caroline Doerksen (junior 2) qualified for AAs for 13 year olds as well.
Lily Ann Diep (senior) and Andrew Yeung (junior 2) had a busy weekend, winning both the 100 and 200 distances in the back and fly respectively, just shy of their age group national cuts.
