WISC win the Ontarios The Whitby Iroquois Swim Club proved you don't have to be the biggest to be the best! W.I.S.C. plus water equalled winners in the 4A Division Ontario Team Championships in Guelph on the weekend. Twenty-five swimmers represented the club in the three-day meet with 500 competitors from 28 clubs across Ontario. W.I.S.C. swept to victory with a score of 374 points with the closest competition coming from the Elliott Lake Aquatic Club Team which took third with 255 points. "A points margin," stated swim club president Charles McAlinden, "that was un- precedented in any of the Canadian Amateur Swim- ming Association Divisions." For tougher competition W.I.S.C. now moves into 3A Division of C.A.S.A. The combination of the strength and talent of the four year old club's 'veteran' swimmers and new W.I.S.C. members, together with the coaching of Tom McLaughlin and his assistant, Cheryl Linton, resulted in outstanding in- dividual performances as well as an all out team vic- tory. Tean-year-old Chris Don- nelly captured five gold medals in individual boys events, and added an extra gold and bronze in the freestyle and medley relays along with teammates Brent Walsh, Jason Spencer and Adrian Vargas. Outstanding performan- ces were also given by Kim Walker, 14, who collected two gold, two silver, and a bronze, and Denise Van- Doleweerd, 13, who won a gold, two silver, and two bronze. Both girls added to their medial ranking along with Kelly Walker, 14, and Donna Goulding, 14, by win- ning gold medals in freestyle and medley relays. Janice Currie, 10, scored high for the team with three silver and two bronze medals, and collected two more gold teaming with Jill Connor, Colleen Coutts, and Leslie Doran in both relay events. The club's gold, silver, and bronze medalists were Chris Donnelly, Kim Walker, Denise Van- Doleweerd, Janice Currie, Colleen Coutts, Jill Connor, Leslie Doran, Brent Walsh, Adrian Vargas, Jason Spen- cer, Kevin Walker, Robbie Walsh, Peter Pfeiffer, Kelly Walker, Donna Goulding, Jennie Connor, Karen Jerepp and David Goulding. Swirimers placing 4th to 6th were Tammy Uattes, Steven Currie, Mike Pfeif- fer, Brian McAlinden, Yashin Blake, Yari Ollikainen, and Angela Cout- ts. McAlinden also stated that when the season started last year the club adopted the C.A.S.A. slogan "Go For It", and we not only went for it - "We Got It"! "The young wimmers, many of whom have never swam in a meet of this im- portance, performed like veterans while the older swimmers performed like the champions they are," said McAlinden, adding, "Coach Tom McLaughlin and his coaching staff, who never doubted we wouldn't win, deserve a lot of praise for their efforts leading the swimmers of the Whitby Iroquois Swim Club to this championship." Whitby snowmobiler places second in OSRF standings Don and Grant McKmnlay were recently putting away their two Polaris snowmobiles for the season after Grant had finished second overall in the stock Ciass of the Ontario Snowmobile Federat ion for 1980 Along with the overal second place finish the younger McKinlay alsoî placed two firsts, two seconds and a third place finish over the course of the season's races. By S. GiE ENAW AY Free Press Staff Whitby's own Grant McKinlay finished off in second place overall in the province for stock drivers at the recent Ontario Snowmobile Racing Federation awards banquet held in Alliston. McKinlay. who has been racing snowmobiles for three years, placed second out of 29 stock drivers with an overall total of 1,360 poin- ts for the season, only 136 points behind first place finisher Gilles Larochelle. In addition McKinlay walked away with a first place in the."C" stock class and the Modified stock 1 class, a second in the "D" stock class and the 'E' stock class and a third place trophy in the "B" stock class. Grant is part of cor- petitive snowmobiling family. Father Don and sister Sandra are also involved in the sport, competing under the name of McKinlay's OSRF Stock Class Snowmobile Racing Team. "I think I like snowmobiling because I en- joy going fast and h have always been interested in the sport," said Grant. Over the course of the vear there are eight major snowmobile racing events. Next season, starting in December, races are scheduled to be run in laliburton, Peterborough, Owen Sound, Windsor, Brad- ford, Egansville, Wasaga Beach and Keswick. The younger McKinlay said he enjoyed the comradery shared by com- peting snowmobilers at races. "Even though they are in competition with you they are still happy to help out in any way they can," he said. According to McKinlay, Ontario has the best safety record for snowmobile com- petitions in the world. Part of the reason behind this safety and McKinlay's personal success is the amount of work done on his two machines. He said that up to 40 hours of work is done on the machine the week fol lowing a race. Protective clothing is also a necessity in racing. Such appareil includes a padded vest and shin pads which competitors must wear. The McKinlay's are currently racing two Polaris machines, the 250 c.c.
