We were behind in points but we managed to pull it out at the end.” ‘The Aquanauts received 420 points in edging out teams from Grand Forks and Colville. The River Outers finished last with 107 points which is indicative

of the number of swimmers they were able to enter. Matt Fox led the Aquanauts with a gold medal in Div.3 Boys as he continues to improve at a fast rate. Other gold performances turned in by the team came from Cole Stanbra (Div.2), Dawn Hadikin (Div.3) and Lindy Miller (Div.5). Steve Manarin (iv.1), Darci Miller (Div.3) and Clayton Bonin (Div.4) received silver while Lome Hartson (Div.4) and Lisa Johnson (Div.2) chipped in with a bronze. ston who won gold in Div.3 Boys and Kerry Ander- son who received bronze in Div.5 Girls.

and establishing best times, but he did pick out a few Aquanauts who should prove the most exciting. Adam Rodgers is certainly in that category as he competes in breaststroke and individual medley. Rodgers has been in the medals all year and is still continuing to improve

Another anxious Aquanaut is Andy Angrignon, who is a talented swimmer as well as a fierce com- petitor. He will compete in Div.3 breaststroke.

“If he puts everything together, he should make the finals,” said Jones. “Once he gets into a final, he’s an animal.”

Besides the talented boys, the Aquanauts are also sending a very strong contingent of girls led by Sele- na Fodor, Alisha Pion and Rachel Friedrich. Fodor has been impressive swimming 100m freestyle all year while Pion continually posts best personal times in freestyle and fly. Friedrich is one of the best alj-around swimmers who performed well in the B.C. Summer Games in Kelowna.

All the talent and excitement has Aquanaut assis- tant coach, Alex Hartman licking his chops in prepa- ration for a swimming feast in Kamloops.
