Ogilvie swept the butterfly events taking the 50, 100 and 200 butterfly in the boy’s 12-13 year old age group.
The only new provincial record set at the meet was put up by Pacific Sea Wolves girl’s 12 and under 4 x 50 freestyle relay team. 12 year old Stephanie Lee led off the relay in a time of 27.82 touching almost a second and a half ahead of the field. Lee and her teammates Jessy Barton-Jensen, Brighe Buxton and Eva Wen posted a time of 1:55.94 close to four seconds ahead of their closest competitors.
They broke their own provincial record of 1:57.46, which was set in May. Although they destroyed the provincial record they were still almost a second and a half off the national record of 1:54.55 set by the Olympian Swim Club in 2009.
