42 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 26, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Dolphins top small club at provincials Fencers compete with elite What the Dolphins Swim Club of Oakville lacked in quantity at the recent junior short course provincials, it made up for with quality. Despite sending only 18 swimmers to the meet, the Dolphins still managed to finish eighth out of the 80-plus-club field, earning the Ontario Small Team Award. Sinead Russell led the way for the Dolphins, setting three national age group records. Russell broke the previous standards en route to winning the 13-14 girls' 100-metre backstroke, 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley. Her 100m backstroke time of 1:01.35 broke the long-standing record of Olympic triathlon team member Suzanne Weekerd. Russell also completed the 200m backstroke in a time of 2:12.10, then bested a 25-year-old mark in the 200m IM with a time of 2:16.75. Twelve-year-old Lauren Dixon and 10-yearold Olivia Sbaraglia were Oakville's other gold medalists at the provincials. Dixon won the 100m and 200m breaststroke events, while Sbaraglia was victorious in the 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle. Sbaraglia added silver in the 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle and 100m backstroke. Conor Russell, 11, earned a bronze in the 400m freestyle. The Dolphins also showed well in relay competition. The 13-14 girls' team of Jacqueline Baillie, Olivia Anderson, Sinead Russell and Dixon claimed silver in the 4x50m medley and bronze in the 4x50m freestyle. In 11-12 girls' relay, Maggie Burns, Alexandra Newton, Dixon and Sbaraglia won bronze in both the 4x50m medley and 4x100m medley.
