swimmers prepare for provincial competition
Jennifer Hubbard
After an impressive showing at
the Western Ontario Secondary
School Athletic Association (WQS-
SAA) meet, area swimmers are hop-
ing to make a splash at provincials.
A total of eight swimmers from St.
Anne's and Central Huron sec-
ondary schools will be competing at
the Ontario Federation of Schools
Athletic Association (OFSAA) cham-
pionships in Mississauga on March

Four local curling teams partici-
pated in this year's Timbits provin-
cial elementary school curling tour-
nament in Niagara Falls over the
weekend.
Seaforth Public School sent two
teams.
One team, consisting of skip
7 and 8.
St. Anne's students Rachel Van
Osch and Scot Ferguson qualified to
compete in three events, while
Jessica Sparling, Val Otten and
Shawn Reinink will swim in two.
Christy Hartman and Sarah
Vaessen both qualified for one
event.
Coach Terrie Van Osch says it is a
great honour for each of the swim-
mers to be representing St. Anne's
at OFSAA.
They will be competing against
the best schools in Ontario and it
will be a very challenging competi-
tion, but she is confident each swim-
mer will do their own personal best.
Jocelyn Bartlif1 will be the sole
representative of CHSS at OFSAA,
competing in two events.
Other students who attended
WOSSAA, include: .Chelsea
Rudderham, Jenna Maaskant, Sara
Steeper, Theresa Bakker, Chris
Hogervorst and Katherine
Hogervorst, of St. Anne's and Matt
Fisher of CHSS.
Central Huron coach Scott
Middleton — who took over the team
after coach Julie Hohner left for a
year-long teaching exchange — says
the 2005-06 season was a stepping
stone for his team of eight.
"Our swimmers were little fish in
a big pool, but next year I think
we'll have three swimmers at
OFSAA — including Jocelyn," he
explained. "Not only will they be big
fish, but they'll be monster competi-
tors."
