Tartans Swimming

Congratulations to WDSS OFSAA Swimmers for These amazing results:

After much perservance, Torey DePooter had an amazing 50m Jr. freestyle with a time of 32.67sec. She moved up 5 places from her seed spot to place 31st in the province.

Ryan Pinnance made his 4th trip to OFSAA count, swimming a personal best of 1:10.17 in the 100m Sr. backstroke. He took 3 seconds off his qualifying time and moved up 7 places to 11th in the morning heats. Ryan made WDSS proud in the afternoon B final, which proved to be a very tight race. He recorded a time of 1:12.75 for a sixth place finish which put him just one second out of first!

Jack Cavanagh swam another personal best time in the 50m Jr fly with 30.88 sec. This ranked Jack 8th in the province and earned him a trip to the afternoon A finals! When the pressure was on, Jack pulled through with another outstanding tome of 31.62sec to maintain his 8th place OFSAA finish!

Way to go Swimmers!

Boys Hockey
The boy's hockey team's season ended yesterday in the SWOSSAA Semi final when St. Chris. downed the Tartans 4 to 1. The boys were unable to harness the intensity seen in the Kent Final and managed to put only one goal past the St. Chris. tender on a shot by Bobby Zenick.

Congratulations to the third consecutive Kent Champion Tartan Boys Hockey Team!! You've Had a great season Tartans!!

Thank you to all the fans for your support throughout the season and to Miss Day for arranging the fan bus.

Girls Hockey
Yesterday in the Girls SWOSSAA Semi-Final at Wallaceburg Memorial Arena, the Tartans were defeated 3-2 in a close match with North Lambton Secondary School. North Lambton opened a 2-0 lead in the first period, however, the Tartans were able to tie the game with 6 minutes left in the third period. North Lambton responded quickly to the tying Tartan goal. The Tartans played the final minute and twenty seconds with an extra attacker, however, they were unable to beat the North Lambton goalie. Scoring for the Tartans were Sam McFadden and Katherine VanderVeeken. Assists went to Tara Fice, Bailey Berkvens, and Sarah Noyle. All of the Tartans played well. Graduating players Jacey Taylor and Katherine VanderVeeken will be missed as they have demonstrated strong leadership for the younger players. Special thanks to Ashley Howell and Niko Peters for helping at the doo r and Tanner Heath and Derrek Ricciotti for score-keeping.

Great Season Tartans!
