BIO Quick bite Barracudas swim fast at Edmonton Keyano meet Nicole Schnapp was the Prince George Barracuda with the sharpest bite on the weekend at the prestigious Edmonton International Keyano swim meet. Schnapp, 11, set three club records and swam for three personal best times. She bested the club record with a 2:24.56 time en route to a second place finish in the 200 metre freestyle. She finished third in the 400 metre freestyle with a new club record and personal best time of 5:03.56 and was third in the 800 metre freestyle with a time of 10:36.95. Schnapp set a personal best in the 100 metre freestyle with a time of 1:08.58 and the 400 metre individual medley with a time of 5:57.83. She also finished 16th in the 200 metre individual medley. “1 always do good at that meet,” says Schapp. “I like the pool. I like long course better. There’s not a lot of turns and I’m not that good at turns.” Marcin Partyka shattered his personal best time in the 1,500 metre freestyle. His time of 19:14.74 was more than a minute faster than his previous best time and 15 seconds faster than the Barracuda’s club record. Partyka also set a personal best time of 4:53.79 in the 400 metre freestyle. “The 1,500 is my best race,” says Partyka. “We weren’t expecting to do very well and we weren’t expected to do well. There was no pressure.” Andrew Sweet also turned in a host of personal best performances at the meet. Sweet bested his previous time in the 200 metre individual medley, 200 metre butterfly, 400 metre individual medley, 100 metre butterfly and 400 metre freestyle. Michelle Wilczek posted a personal best time of 6:04.80 in the 400 metre individual medley and of 1:20.20 in the 100 metre butterfly. She also bested her personal best in the grueling 800 metre freestyle with a time of 10:42.81 and set a new personal mark for the 400 metre freestyle, clocking in at 5:11.07. Jennifer Service swam her best ever 100 metre backstroke with a time of 1:17.89 while Lindsay Brownridge set a new personal mark of 1:15.92 in the 100 metre butterfly. Barracudas head coach Jerzy Partyka was surprised with how well his swimmers did at the meet, the first long-course event of the season for them. “1 was expecting some good times,” says Partyka. “But not what they did. It was a very tough meet. They’re in good shape right now.” Fortress Internet 575 Quebec St., Prince George BC Phone: 564-8057 Fax: 564-8063 Data: 564-8042 http://www.fortress.net E-Mail: pres@fortress.awinc.com Business Package Specials!
