Inconnu Swim Club makes splash at Fast Track competition in November

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John Inconnu Swim Club travelled to Grande Prairie last month to compete in the Fast Track competition from November 17th to 19th. 

Head coach Carmen Escobar says 35 Inconnu athletes participated in the competition, where they “made an impressive splash.”

“During this event, our swimmers achieved an outstanding 95 per cent personal best rate, showcasing their hard work and commitment to improvement,” said Escobar. 

“Notably, many of our swimmers secured top-eight placements in nearly every event, highlighting the exceptional talent within our club.”

Escobar added that several Inconnu swimmers have qualified for higher-level competitions as well. 

Ryder Modde, Kieran Rogers, Ridley Chisholm, Aisnley Ross, Quinn McCue, and Sienna Thorburn each met “rigorous” provincial standards set out by Alberta, earning spots at Edmonton JP Fiset. The invitational swim meet takes place from December 14th to 17th. 

Along with the athletes listed above, Brice Bellamy, Leo Rossi, Elias Stirling, and Lane Stahl have qualified for the Divisional Championships next February.
