Porenta's Olympic hopes f urther tueied by overseas excursion By STEVE LeBLANO The Champion Jennifer Porenta's swim- ming skills have allowed her to do a fair amount of globetrottmng already. But booking passage for at least one more overseas excursion - nainely, to next summer's Olympics in Athens, Greece - remans her priinary objective. "I Usink I've got a legitimate chance (of going)," Milton's top pool shark sald. That cautious optimisin comes on Use heels of a recent joumey to Use Wortd University Gaines in SouUs Korea, where Use 18-year-old freestyle specialist high- lighted her efforts wiUs a personal best in Use 200nm. A 2:02.53 finish earned her a sixUs place finish and, more importantly, was wiUsin striking distance of Use Olympic qualifying tine - on even two minutes. "It was actually surprising, since Use 200m îsn't usually one of my best events," sald Porenta, who swamn agaost former world record holder Yana Klochlova and shed more Usan half-a-minute off hier indi- vidual benchinark. Nailmng a two-minute 200m at next suin- mer's Olympic Trials in Etobicoke - where she's spent countless hours training and competing - should put her in line for a trip to AUsens. The saine con be sald for a 56-second effort in Use 100m - a mark she carne close to ottaining at this sumnser's World Trials in Victoria, where she established a new personal record of 56.86s. Explained Porenta, "I'd say Usose are my beat shots (at Use Olympics). I'm still about a second off Use qualifying tiine in Use 5Oin free, which is probably too much to make up in Use shorter race." As for Use lengthier events, Use local teen remains confident Usat she con close Use gap - especially wiUs on increased train- mng reginsent at Use University of Toronto, where she's now a freshinon. "It's going to he a lot more intense over Use next several monUsaond I'm really anx- ious to see just how much faster I con go," she remarked. 1I know Usere's more I con give, especially in Use 200m. A two to two- ond-a-half second improvement is certain- ly possible." Porenta's Canada women's team took sevenUs in all Usree relays Usey entered in SouUs Korea - including Use 4xlOOm free, 4x200m free and 4xlOOm medley. While her 100m efforts weren't quite up to par and her 50mn performance was a self- described disaster, she looks upon last monUs's competition as a 'real eye opener" and one Usat should only fuel lier overall quest. Milton's 2004 Summer Gaines hopeful will participate at Use short course nationals in Quebec in November and is also expect- ed tor spend some time training in Arizona before next July's Olyinpic trials.
