Swimmers Nicole Van Gaalen, Marnel Muller, Kris- tin Devereaux and Nadine Otten finished the race with a time of 2:10.42, to earn the new WOSSAA record.

'To say I was proud of our swimmers is an understate- ment," Van Osch says. "It has really been about the team all year and not how each individual can shine." Central Huron Secondary School sent four swimmers to the WOSSAA meet: Amy Bicknell, Nikki Steep, Kody Jacobs and Lexi Cook. Cook, a Seaforth native in Grade 9, made waves in the pool this season as a first-year swimmer. Swim coach Scott Middleton says he "fully expects Cook to make it to OFSAA next year." Middleton also says Seaforth swimmer Kody Jacobs, in Grade 11, still has two years to develop with the team be- fore graduation. "I think he's going to own those events in the next two years," Middleton says. At WOSSAA, Jacobs finished third in the senior boys' 100 -metre back crawl, with a time of 1:16. Coach Julie Hohner says she's proud of the team and is looking forward to next year. • CAinetfrantth Canadiso made Kitchens QUALm'•ON n 4►c0r4 PLE]'E 4i NORTH STAR viuvt WINDOWS ANS •seri ,I Entryg COLE 394 Huron -Rd.
