2012 LC Provincial Champions !!!

With the Provincial title on the line, Hyack swimmers raced themselves to a first place finish. We have had multiple 2nd and 3rd place finishes, including last year's 2nd place finish at SC Provincials, but this is the first time since 1986 that Hyack has won at Provincials.

This was definately not a walk in the park. We went from 1st place on the first day, held it for the second day, dropped to 2nd on the third day, and clawed our way back up to 1st on the last day. The points spread between the 1st and 2nd place team after finals each day was between 38.5-111.5 points; not much at all considering 8th place scores 11 points and 1st place scores 50 points. In the end, our swimmers swam well and ended up with 2268 points overall. Second place was Island Swimming with 2153.5 points and third place was Pacific Sea Wolves with 2092 points. The competition was fierce and we came up on top.

Job well done for the Provincial team.
