Aquaducks dominate at regionals
New Steamer record
ELIZA MCGUIRE Revelstoke Aquaducks
Jordan Cheyne took more than two minutes off the Mount Revelstoke Steamer hill climb record in the return of the race on Sunday. Cheyne, 23, an up-andcoming pro cyclist who lives in Kelowna, conquered the 26-kilometre climb in 1:06:59 — beating the old record of 1:09:13 set by David Gonda in 2012. The Steamer returned after a one-year hiatus, with 43 road riders powering their way up the winding climb. Olav Stana, 59, won the men’s 40+ category in a time of 1:13:04 — good for second overall. Marg Feydna was the top woman, finishing in a time of 1:32:33. 43 cyclists took part in the Steamer, which is organized by Flowt Bikes. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
The Revelstoke Aquaducks had another great regionals in Kelowna this year, qualifying almost every swimmer in attendance for the upcoming BC Summer Swim Association provincial championships to be hosted in Kamloops in two weeks. Including relays, the Ducks qualified 46 athletes, with 29 of those also qualified to swim individual events. The ducks sent a total of 50 swimmers eligible to qualify for provincials. Attending their first-ever provincials this year are Division 1 swimmers Autumn Griffith-Doyle, Monica Parkin, Madeleine Hobgood, Murdoch Tegart, Bence Berkenbosch and William Hobgood; Division 2 swimmers Sani Supinen and Elizabeth McDowell; Division 3 swimmers Sara Supinen, Paige McKenzie, Morgan Tegart and Maya McDowell; Division 4 swimmer Logan Marcolli, and Division 5 swimmer Leif Carnegie. Three new club records were set. Jackson Litke finally broke the D4 boys 50m butterfly after a season of creeping towards it. Beth Granstrom broke the 100m freestyle record for D4 girls, and Nolan Gale broke his father’s 30-year-old D4 boys 100m freestyle record in preliminaries, though Litke would better it in finals in a close race that afternoon. Many club records were also bet-
tered: Devyn Gale improved her D2 girls 50m fly, Ryder Litke his D1 boys 50m fly and Brynn Hoshizaki her D4 girls 50m free. Jackson Litke bettered his 100m back to not only a new club record, but a regional record as well, while James LeBuke did the same in his boys D4 200m individual medley. Beth Granstrom’s new 100m free record was also a new regional record, as was her 200m IM and 100m back.

A large part of the success of Molder, and coaches James Pilla, the Ducks can be traced back to the domination of their relays, which finEmily Pfeiffer and Eliza McGuire. With such a spectacular outing, it ished in the top two in all but three is little wonder that the Revelstoke of the 24 relays entered. This perhaps Aquaducks finished as well as they defines the Revelstoke Aquaducks’s did as a team. Despite having half the season the best: wherever the compeswimmers as the hosts, the Kelowna tition, if a team of Ducks were there, Ogopogos, the Revelstoke Aqua- they would be aiming for the top. Congratulations to all the Ducks ducks won the boys category and came second in the girls for a sec- who have extended their season!
