The Glacier Bears Swim Club had a busy weekend, with teams competing at two different meets in British Columbia.
Two of the Yukon’s top swimmers, Alexandra Gabor and Bronwyn Pasloski, competed against 450 top swimmers from the US, Hong Kong, Mexico and Canada at the Mel Zajac Jr. Swim Meet in Vancouver.
Gabor finished as the top Canadian in both the 200-metre and the 1,500-metre freestyle, claiming a bronze in each event.
Pasloski’s best results were a fifth in the 100-metre breaststroke and sixth in the 200-metre breaststroke.
With only two swimmers, the girls scored enough points to place the Glacier Bears in 17th place of 48 teams.
Six more Bears were in action at the Kamloops June Classic 2007 Invitational Swim Meet, where 400 swimmers from BC, Yukon and NWT competed.
Craig Berube had a great meet, leading the Bears with eight gold medals in eight events. (50-, 100-, 200-metre freestyle; 50-, 100-metre backstroke; 50-metre breaststroke, 100-metre fly and 200-metre individual medley). He also posted seven personal best times.
Kirsten Berube qualified for the Western Canada Games with her time in the 100-metre freestyle.
In the girls 11-12 age group, she won two golds (50-metre free and 100-metre back), four silvers (100-metre free, 50-metre back, 100- and 200-metre breast), and a bronze (200-metre back) and had 10 personal best times.
Tanner Cassidy finished in the top eight in every event in the boys 15-and-over group, and captured two bronze (400-metre free and 100-metre fly).
Ariana Edelman, swimming in the girls 15-and-over category, captured gold in the 50-metre backstroke.
Spencer Edelman, former Glacier Bear now swimming for the University of Lethbridge, grabbed bronze in the 50-metre fly and was in the B-finals in four events.
