Thanks Derek Chomiak!
​The Orcas returned with large numbers to Pincher Creek on June 15-16 to win their 22nd consecutive Region F meet. For the third straight meet this season, the Orcas set another all-time meet attendance record, marking the first time 65 Orcas have competed in Pincher Creek.

​Seven Orcas stood out for outstanding individual performances, as they were able to achieve best times in 100% of their individual events. These 7 Orcas were: Tristen Harvey (14), Davida Letourneau (8), Golden Letourneau (11), Myla Mundell (5), Jake Odorski (11), Russell Pinder (6), and Maggie Swain (10).

In addition, twelve Orcas were able to capture individual aggregate medals. These medal winners from the weekend were:
  • Alex Ginther – Girls 6&U – Silver
  • Taylor Ginther – Girls 7-8 – Silver
  • Petra Tymko – Girls 9-10 – Gold
  • Ottavio Lutterotti – Boys 9-10 – Gold
  • Devlan Sheppard – Boys 13-14 – Gold
  • Soleil Letourneau – Girls 15-17 – Bronze
  • Charlotte Vanden Elzen – Girls 15-17 – Gold
  • Jens Watt – Boys 15-17 – Bronze
  • Tyson Chomiak – Boys 15-17 – Silver
  • Keeley Watt – Girls 18&O – Gold
  • Joel Odorski – Boys 18&O – Silver
  • Josh Adams – Boys 18&O – Gold

Orcas swimmers practice multiple ways to get ready for races. Some joke around and keep things light, as shown by Claire Peake, Coach Caileigh, and Aki Oshima (left), while others, like Ben Adserballe (right), bring a little more silent intensity.

​The Orcas as a whole have had an exceptional start to the season. For the past three weeks, they have been the #1 ranked age group team (17&U) in the province. Coming off a 4th place finish at Provincials in 2017 and a 7th place finish in 2016, this strong early season ranking bodes well for the Orcas as they continue their season and push towards their team goal of a top 3 at Provincials.
 
Lethbridge will look to continue their momentum as they will be competing this weekend at the University of Lethbridge Pool on Saturday, June 23. There will, without a doubt, be plenty of fast swimming this weekend.
