Collectively, the Prince George Pisces were a powerful force at the regional championship meet in Quesnel last weekend.
Members of the local summer swim club combined to win 28 gold medals, 30 silver medals and 13 bronze medals at the competition, the last of the season before provincials.
Pisces members who qualified for provincials, Aug. 16-18 in Nanaimo, are Artemis Douglas, Heather Lamb, Kyra Arrowsmith, Matthew Shand, Ariadne Douglas, Ben Shand, Gareth Lamb, Michael Jurjevich, Fraser MacRae, Brendan Bellavance and Ian Williams.
At regionals, 10-year-old Matthew Shand set new club records in breaststroke, freestyle and individual medley. As well, the relay team of MacRae, Gareth Lamb, Jurjevich and Ben Shand established new club standards in the 200m medley and 200m freestyle races.
The Pisces are coached by Kyle Kronebusch and Fraser Bell.
