Porenta strikes four golds Jenniler Porenta sure knows how Io lashion a dra- matic finale. The Milton Marlin Swim Club veteran closed out 1998 by capturing haîf a dozen medals at the Riverside Collegiate Meet in East York. There she struck gold four times, added a couple of silvers, set four new club recorda and becanie the local team's third national qualifier of Uic season. "An extraordinary work ethic and love for awim- ming haa taken Jennifer to the next level," aaid coach Emil Dimitrov. Her year-ending performance was the lateat in a series of inspiring efforts recently put forth by the Marlins. In Uieir stiffest challenge to date - the intemnational Youth Cup at the Etobicoke Olympium - eight local competitors combined for six medals, fOve of which were silver. Leading the way with aecond-place finishes in boUi the 100 and 200-metre breastatroke was Kassie Sliekers. The 16-year-old set junior national qualify- ing times in each event. Said Dimitrov, "Kassie's maturity bas given her the understanding that national level competition is not ouI oi reach. Being a pioneer of the leain, in couit- ing on her to carry the Marlins through national waters." Kid sister Stephanie Siiekers, 14, was runner-up in the 100m backstroke with a national qualifying time of 1:07.42. Other silvers went to Garrett Lyall and Kristen McIlroy - each of whom atole thc ahow at previous regional meets. Lyall's dominance came in Burlington, where he shone in butterfly and freestyle events, claiming a total of aeven gold medals. The 14-year-old recently made his retum tu the local team, much to the delight of ita chief instructor. "It's great to have him back," Dimitrov remarked. 'TIas kind of swimming will help motivate the others a little more. An example of thia would be David Wassenich, who has worked hard to keep up with Garrett and haa had draznatic time improvementa. He also took home six medals fmom this meet." Mcllroy, 12, matched Lyall's medal haul in Richmond Hill, where she struck gold seven times and waa particularly impressive in backstroke competition. Spartans were consistent as ever e from DRURY on page 17 their unheaten streaks alive. Now 21-0, Beaulieu handily defeated ail of his 149 Ibs. opponents.
