Hagglund, a first-year junior, fired the low score of the day -- a 74 -- to win the junior (16-18) division. Morley shot a stableford-adjusted 70 to win the adult `A' flight, with Tim Hatton, also an Oakville resident, placing third with a 74.

Russell top female at Barrie swim competition Dolphins Swim Club member Sinead Russell was the top overall female at the Kempenfest-Bay 2,000 Meter Open Water Swim competition last weekend in Barrie. Russell, 13, also won the junior female division, with teammates Ola Michalec and Alana Boffa placing third and fourth, respectively. Other notable Dolphins performers included Peter Kruzyk (second in junior male), Cole VanOmmen (third, junior male) and Cameron Russell (third, intermediate male and male overall). Also representing the Dolphins were Cassandra Pedro, Holly Olsen, Conor Russell, Isabelle Nat and Alex Kruzyk. The annual event featured its largest contingent of swimmers ever, ranging in age from eight to 65. Johansson, Stittle 14th at European regatta Oakville Yacht Squadron alumnus Oskar Johansson and partner Kevin Stittle placed 14th at the 2006 Tornado European Championships, held recently in Germany. The pair sailed a relatively conservative series over the six-day schedule, posting scores averaging 15 out of the 72-boat fleet. "Overall, we sailed a good event," said Stittle, an Orangeville resident. "There is always room for improvement, but if we can tighten up our racing we can make a good gain in the standings." The event had significant importance because the pair used it as a test run for its Olympic qualifiers, to be held next summer. In order to qualify for a spot at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, Johansson and Stittle must finish within the top 11 countries -- a goal they accomplished at the European championships, although two strong teams did not compete. The team will continue training in Portugal, the venue for the 2007 world championships, before heading off to Argentina this fall to prepare for the 2006 worlds. Johansson and Stittle are currently ranked 10th in the ISAF, an international sailing federation ranking system.
