VICTORIA – Diving in for the first time in the 2021-22 season, the University of Victoria swimming team competed at the Senior Circuit, hosted at their home Commonwealth Pool, Oct. 30.
 
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES

• Cosette Bachmann posted a personal best in the 400 free to open the meet, dropping four seconds of her previous time and posting a 4:30.64.
• Sophie Tarrant recorded strong starts in the breaststroke events, taking the top spot in the 50 (32.70), 100 (1:10.37), and 200 (2:31.65) events.
• Jacob Rambo earned three first-place finishes, taking the 200 and 400 IM titles with times of 2:07.00 and 4:32.90, respectively, as well as the 200 back top spot at 2:05.31.
• Having strong displays across multiple events, Danielle Hanus posted a personal-best 55.06 swim in the 100 free for the top spot, as well as first-place finishes in the 100 fly (58.68) and 100 back (57.60).
• Padric McKervill finished with top-place finishes in all three fly events, coming in at 25.24 in the 50 fly, 56.11 in the 100 fly, and 2:07.82 in the 200 fly.

THOUGHTS FROM COACH RYAN CLOUSTON
"Today was our first official competition since March 2020, and you could feel the excitement that everyone had to be able to get back to the best part of the sport - the racing.  As the first meet of the year, it definitely isn't the fastest one, we don't rest at all going into it, but it's a good first step working into upcoming competitions, including next weekend's College Cup at UBC, and Canada West Championships in late November."
 
UP NEXT
The Vikes head to Vancouver, B.C. for the Brown Colleges Cup, hosted by the University of British Columbia, Nov. 6-7.
