Results: SCASA Masters Championships, 12/13 April
WSC picked up 36 medals (10 gold, 9 silver, 17 bronze). Of the men, Devin
Howard (25/29) was the most successful, with an individual haul of two golds -
in the 100m and 200m butterfly - four silvers and two bronze. In the women,
Yvette Grice (19/24) came away with an unblemished record, winning gold in three
events - 200m backstroke, 100m backstroke and 400m freestyle.
The other winners were Simon Clement (19/24) in the 200m individual medley,
Martin Jurco (25/29) in the 200m breaststroke and Karen Mitchell (19/24) in the
200m freestyle.
All the swimmers competed hard, with a number of personal bests. But the men
waited until the relays and the last minutes of the final session to add some
real excitement to the event. In the 100+ 4x50m medley relay, Logan Poyurs got
the team off to a great start with a tremendous backstroke leg, Jurco
(breaststroke) and Howard (butterfly) then upped the ante, leaving Tristan
Fuller (freestyle) to bring it home.
In the men's 120+ 4x50m medley relay, Jurco switched to backstroke, Fuller to
breaststroke, while Howard again swam a mighty butterfly leg, giving Ross Tanner
(at 38, the old man of the team) a one second lead. Fortunately, in his first
competition in 15 years, Tanner proved up to the task.
Coach and team motivator Tony Pearce (55/59), won three medals - silver in the
200m backstroke and 200m butterfly, and bronze in the 400m freestyle
In the 200m individual medley, Howard picked up a silver, while Jurco won
bronze.
In the 50m butterfly Steven Clark (19/24) took a silver, Howard a silver, while
Tanner (35/39), got a bronze.
Nicola Nassi (25/29) took bronze in the 50m backstroke, while Anne Monaghan
(30/34) did a personal best to also take bronze in the same event.

(30/34) and Fuller won bronze.
