www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, July 18, 2013 | 24 Continued from p.23 Run of bad luck continues in Toronto Oakville swimmers reach finals Hinchcliffe had no opportunity to make passes or battle for position. Instead, he had to defer to cars on the lead lap. In what he described as "a long, expensive test session," Hinchcliffe finished 21st, continuing what has been a champagne or bust year. He's won three times in 12 races this season -- the first three victories of his career-- but he's also finished 15th or worse seven times. Results like Sunday have kept him out of contention for the IndyCar championship despite having the most wins, along with Scott Dixon, who won both Toronto races to extend his winning streak to three. Sitting fifth in the overall standings coming in, Hinchcliffe dropped to eighth after the Toronto doubleheader. Part of the disappointment for Hinchcliffe was knowing so many people had come to watch him race. Nowhere else but in Toronto this weekend would wearing green and orange be considered cool. Before and after the weekend races, fans lined four and five deep around his paddock, hoping to get an autograph or a picture with the hometown hero. "The support was so great all weekend," he said. "I really wanted to do it for those guys." Hinchcliffe used to be one of those guys. He has attended every Toronto race since he was 18 months old. He used to be the one lining up for autographs. So to be in the position he is in today, racing for a premier team like Andretti Autosport, helps him keep things in perspective. at World University Games Tera Van Beilen narrowly missed out on adding to her medal collection at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Van Beilen, a two-time silver medallist in 2011, finished fourth in the 100-metre breaststroke and helped Canada's 4x100m medley relay team finish fourth. Despite suffering from the flu, Van Beilen also finished sixth in the 200m breaststroke. A busy schedule -- she also competed in the 50m breaststroke -- didn't leave the Oakville Aquatics Club member much time to recover. "I was pleased, in between a couple of barfs," the University of British Columbia student said of her qualifying swim for the 200m race. "I have the morning to rest. Hopefully, between now and then, I can get myself relatively healthy, keep some food in and the coughing to a minimum. I have a lane. That's all that matters." Oakville's Marni Oldershaw and Zack Chetrat also reached the finals. Oldershaw beat her personal best by two seconds to finish fifth in the 400m individual medley. Her time of 4:44.47 also established new records for the Oakville Aquatic Club and the University of Michigan, where she is going into her sophomore year. "The last 50 metres everyone was going crazy," she said. "I kind of had to take that energy and pretend they were cheering for me. That was the best way to use that energy." Chetrat finished seventh in the "The worst day on my job is still better than most," he said. And though hopes for a series championship may have slipped from his grasp this weekend, Hinchcliffe has still shown himself to be a force to be reckoned with. Consistency will come. For now, he has something every driver wants. "I'd rather have wins," Hinchcliffe said after Saturday's race. "The goal is the championship but it is only my third year. I'm not ignorant of that. At this age and this stage of my career, to have three wins in what has been the most competitive season so far, I can't complain." Notes: There are two IndyCar families with a son named James currently living in Oakville. The parents of Rahal Letterman Lanigan driver James Jakes have been living in town for the past two months, using it as a base for the Leeds, England residents to travel to their son's races. Jakes finished 12th in Saturday's race and crashed on Lap 62 on Sunday, relegating him to a 23rd-place finish. Oakville's James Hinchcliffe circles the Honda Indy Toronto track.
