With their second last meet before their regional competition, the Revelstoke Aquaducks competed in Salmon Arm this weekend, against several other teams around the Okanagan.
With a second place overall finish, the ducks were ecstatic after such a long hard working weekend. At the meet, all ducks competed in six events, prelims and finals, making for a very exhausted group of duckies. Still, despite the large amount of racing, the ducks came home with 14 aggregate medal winners which include:Cecilia Hobgood 2nd place girls division 1
Cohen Maddison 1st place boys division 1
Nyola Willms 2nd place girls division 2
William Hobgood 2nd place boys division 2

And a sweep from our division 3 girls!:

Autumn Griffith-Doyle 3rd place
Madeleine Hobgood 2nd place
Kayln Gale 1st place

Bence Berkenbosch 3rd place division 3 boys

Megan Hoshizaki 3rd place division 4 girls
Devyn Gale 2nd place division 4 girls

Stefan Spataro 2nd place division 5 boys

Brynn Hoshizaki 2nd place girls division 6
Nolan Gale 3rd place boys division 6

Mentioning two of our turtle swimmer, Zayden Griffith and Benjamin Morrow for swimming their very first 50m unassisted on a relay!

The ducks are extremely excited for their next swim meet, home in Revelstoke BC!
