CLAUDIO CUGLIARI / SPECIAL TO THE OAKVILLE BEAVER f hOAK ourt overall at national swim championships Tera Van Beilen swam to gold in three different breaststroke events to lead the Oakville Aquatic Club (OAK) to a fourth-overall finish at the summer nation- al swimming championships recently in Point-Claire, Que. Van Beilen was victorious in the female senior 50-metre, 100m and 200m breaststroke races to earn 150 of OAKs 478 points at the meet. The UBC Dolphins Swim Club won the meet with 803 points, followed by the University of Calgary Swim Club (763 points) and Victoria Amateur Swim Club (500). Zack Chetrat was OAKs other podium finisher at the meet, placing second in the male senior 200m butterfly. Chetrat was also eighth in the 100m but- terfly. Marni Oldershaw, Annie Harrison and Mack Darragh each finished fourth in at least one event, with both Oldershaw and Darragh posting three top- 10 finishes. Other individuals contributing to OAKs point total at the meet were Julie Calvert, Sherry Patel, Reid Scarrow and Mika Spencer. OAK teams competed in nine relay events as well. The clubs top finish came in the female senior 400m medley, where Erin Assman, Oldershaw, Spencer and Van Beilen combined to place fourth. Bridget Jordan, Sharalynn Missiuna, Kent Kikot and Curtis Samuel swam in relay events for OAK. Canadian age group championships Following the national championships, OAK fin- ished eighth overall at the Canadian Age Group Championships in Montreal. Evan White led the way for OAK by winning two gold, two silver and two bronze in individual action. Whites wins came in the male 17-18 200m and 400m individual medleys. Three other OAK swimmers earned medals in the male 17-18 division. Peter Serles notched a silver and a bronze, Mackenzie Hamill collected a silver, and Matthew Mac and Kikot each picked up a bronze. Patel added a silver in female 16-18 competition. Narrowly missing the podium with fourth-place finishes in at least one event were Assman, Nicole Bullock and Olivia Sinclair.

Successful season concludes The two meets concluded a successful summer season for OAK. Earlier this year, the club won the Central Region and provincial long-course champion- ships and was second at the Division 1 team champi- onships and Ontario short-course championships. Despite being members of one of the smallest clubs in the prov- ince, Dolphins Swim Club ath- letes continue to make their presence noticed at major meets. On top of Sinead Russell's Arecent performance at the FIN World Championships (where she broke three national back- stroke records and was eighth in the 100m backstroke), the Dolphins were ninth overall at the recent age group national championships in Montreal. Pter Li was the top 13-and- under male swimmer at the meet, collecting six gold and a silver, while Meryn McCann picked up two gold, two silver and a bronze in girls' 12-and-under competi- tion. Olivia Sbaraglia, 14, notched three silver medals in freestyle and qualified for next year's Olympic trials. Lauren Dixon, 16, and the relay team of John Young, George Papangelakis, Panos Papangelakis and Li both added silver medals as well.
