Staying for Finals again tonight

VERY good morning again at Senior Provincials here in London, ON.

Kyle Haas's 50FR was a little slower than planned but 200BK was right on what we needed to make the B final. Very good front end speed and control, tonight the plan is to work on the back half of the race and better nail the start.

Karl Massey's 50FR was outstanding with a best time of almost a second and followed by a best time and GREAT morning swim in 200BK. Karl just missed the B final but ended up as an alternate after scratches. He will not swim tonight due to a family committment.

Matchup for tonight will be Kyle Haas of HHBF vs. Adam Seik of HAC. Both are 14 and their best times equaled in the short course season. Adam's best time was made in December. He was sick at provincials, where Kyle finished 4th with an equal time to his. Adam inched out Kyle in the prelims this morning. We'll see what happens this evening.

I hear we have had some really strong performances in Guelph this weekend. I cannot wait to see everyone tomorrow.
