One of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club’s most important meets of the season will be held this weekend at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. The Swim BC Winter Provincial Championships will run until Sunday and feature 511 swimmers representing 40 teams from across the province. Canadian Swimming Trials, scheduled for April in Toronto, will offer swimmers opportunity to qualify for major events such as the world championships, Pan American Games and FISU Games. This weekend, some will be aiming to post times that will get them to national trials, while others who have already qualified fine tune ahead of the Toronto event. Four swimmers who have already qualified for national trials — Colin Gilbert of the University of Denver, Sarah Dalke of UBC, Ryley McRae of the TRU WolfPack and Sarah Koopmans — will swim under the Classics’ banner this weekend. Keana Smart has banked one qualifying time for national trials, “but unless she has three times, two as a minimum, there is no point in going to a competition like that,” Dalke said. National development coach Ken McKinnon will be at winter provincials keeping an eye on identified prospects.

“He’s kind of like a pro scout, if you relate it to hockey,” Dalke said. “He wants to see how his talent is doing so when he takes them to various competitions during the summer leading into world championships, he’s got enough information as possible so he can do a very good job with them.” TRU WolfPack swimmers Matt Gauthier and Emily Dagasso will be in action. Dalke, who also coaches the Pack, will keep an eye out this weekend for potential recruits. “It is amazing how many people don’t real-
ize that the university is around here and that we have a swim team,” Dalke told TRU Sports Information. “Slowly, but surely, the message is getting out there.” MEET CHAMPS The Classics won the Williams Lake Invitational Swim Meet last weekend, with 37 athletes combining for 91 top-three finishes. Five Classics — Sarah Tulloch, Taylor Pearson, Katie Franks, Caillen Gillespie and Max Prelypchan — won medals for finishing as aggregate leaders in their respective age categories.
