The Lethbridge Orcas Started off their outdoor season with two emphatic victories.  Firstly, the Orcas travelled to Crowsnest Pass for the CNP Invitational Meet July 14-15.  The following weekend, the Orcas competed at the Fort MacLeod swim meet.  Dominant performances by Orcas’ athletes led to both gross and net victories at both meets.  The Orcas winning streak is now at 18 consecutive gross titles at Region F, in-season meets.

The number of Orcas swimmers having perfect seasons decreased from four to two these past two weekends.  Elliott Pilsner-Roberts (8) and Tyson Chomiak (14) have both won gold aggregate at every meet this season.  These two swimmers will look to end their regular season “perfect” in Nanton on August 28-29, aiming for one last gold each!
