Ontario Cup

January 20-22, 2012— Toronto

Ontario's best swimmers were on hand at the University of Toronto pool this past weekend for the annual Ontario Cup. The prestigious competition brings together all of Ontario's best varsity, post-grad, and club swimmers—including numerous Olympians and National team members—for some high level long course racing as preparation for the upcoming Olympic Trials.

Continuing steadily upward on her improvement curve, St. Catharines native Delia Caughlin became the first Badger swimmer in recent memory to win an event at this competition. Caughlin blasted the field in the 50m Breaststroke, winning in a senior national qualifying time for her first trip to the podium at such a high level. She now looks ahead to see if she can duplicate that at the Ontario University Championships coming up in three weeks. Delia, a Brock Niagara Aquatics athlete and fourth year Badger, added placings in the 100m and 200m Breaststroke events also, clocking best times in all three distances.

First-year Badger swimmer Laura Perry of Kingston added two placings in Backstroke events, with Badger veteran Ilana Romanow of Cambridge adding another.

Several local club athletes representing Brock Niagara Aquatics posted impressive performances also. Sixteen-year-old Meg Lloyd of Thorold stroked to an Olympic Trials qualifying time while taking second in the 200m Breaststroke. The Ridley student broke the 17/under club record in the process. Meg added placings in the 50m and 100m Breaststroke races also.

Meanwhile, Victoria Culp, from St. Catharines, scored placings in four Freestyle distances from 50m to 400m. Niagara Falls swimmer David Frechette, in his first competition at this level, also managed a top-16 placing in the 50m Freestyle.

St. Catharines native (and Brock Niagara alumnus) Mike Smerek, representing the host University of Toronto, took second place finishes in both the 50m and 100m Butterfly events—in both cases behind 2008 Olympian and Canadian Record Holder Joe Bartoch of London.
