OAK thrives under the spotlight Competing in a meet that featured 14 U.S. Olympians, including Michael Phelps, Oakville Aquatic Club (OAK) swimmers fit right in. Annie Harrison made the biggest splash among OAK swimmers at the recent Charlotte Ultraswim competition in North Carolina, earning bronze in the 200-metre backstroke. Harrison's performance set a new national age group record for 13-14 girls' 200m backstroke, breaking the previous standard set by Nancy Garapick in 1976. Harrison, Julie Calvert, Marni Oldershaw, Mack Darragh and Brody Dyson represented OAK at the meet. OAK teammates Zack Chetrat and Samuel Curtis competed for Team Ontario, helping the province finish second overall behind Club Wolverine. OAK finished 21st out of the 74 registered clubs and unattached swimmers at the meet. Calvert was fifth in the 200m breaststroke and sixth in the 100m breaststroke. Curtis placed sixth in the 200m butterfly. "It was really nice to see our young OAK swimmers bear up so well under the spotlight," said OAK head coach Alex Wallingford. "The American media was everywhere. Each time you turned around, you were watching another Olympic medalist race, so having all five swimmers reach at least one of the finals swim sessions is a credit to their focus in the morning heats." Phelps was competing in his first meet since winning eight gold medals at last year's Olympic Summer Games. The Charlotte Ultraswim also drew competitors from Wales, Honduras, Switzerland, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, France, Brazil and England. CATHOLIC SYSTEM MEETRESULTS 60m Tyke boys - 2.
