The Prince George Barracudas were the big fish in the pool.
The Barracudas hosted and won the Northern Medical Sprints, held at the Aquatic Centre on the weekend. Local swimmers combined to finish ahead of Points North, Fort St. John, Quesnel, Williams Lake and Chetwynd.
Individually, Sava Yungman of the Barracudas was blazing-fast all weekend. Competing in the men's division, he set new club records in the 100-metre freestyle (one minute 54.65 seconds), 200m backstroke (2:07.95), 50m butterfly (26.50), 100m butterfly (56.67) and 200m butterfly (2:05.14).
Mackenzie Lewington in the boys 11-12 division and Hannah Esopenko in the girls 15-17 group also had strong meets. Lewington established new club marks in the 200m breast stroke (2:48.96) and 400m individual medley (5:13.98), while Esopenko set a new Barracudas record in the 100m IM (1:05.27).
The meet was sponsored by the medical doctors of Prince George.
