Downtown Sprint Meet

NYAC's Senior group kicked off the season with a sprint meet at University of Toronto hosted by TSC. Witnessing some seriously fast swims from the UofT varsity squad must have given a boost of confidence to our swimmers as personal best times were swam by over half of the group in their first competition and only five weeks into their training schedule.

Harvest/Autumn Invitational

While the swimmers were dealing with the stresses of illness and school they still trained very well throughout the month of October and into November for the 3-day meet at the Etobicoke Olympium. The Harvest/Autumn Invitational hosted by MSSAC again proved to be an exciting and challenging weekend for the Senior group with a larger stable of athletes to compete against. Top 3 finishes were happily achieved by Andrea, Janice, Evelin, Ariella, Dong, Brandon, Chris, Furkan, Emre, Ozzy, James and Matt. Danny gets a special mention in his first seasson with NYAC for placing first in all but one event: 1st - 50 Free, 100 Free, 200 Back, 50 Breast, 100 Breast, 100 Fly, 200 IM and 3rd in the 200 Free.

Mega City / Youth Cup

NYAC's very own Mega City, which was run concurrently with Youth Cup, proved just as exciting for the Senior Group with top 3 finishes by Danny, Brandon, Matthew, Andrea, Sierra, Dong, Evelin and Kevin. The boys 15-17 200 Freestyle relay comprising of James Allen 27.27 (17), Brandon Linaksita 26:53 (15), Chris Yan 26.92 (15) and Kevin Huang 27.95 (15) proved very exciting with a commanding win over TSC and MSSAC in a time of 1:47.97. The splits were all personal bests for these guys. Ronald Lam made his Senior Provincial cut in the 100 Breast at Youth Cup with a time of 1:12.34 (a drop of over :08 from last season's personal best) which allows him to race at the Ontario Cup at University of Toronto in January. This should prove an exciting weekend for Ronald and the rest of NYAC's Senior Provincial swimmers.

Outstanding Swims

Some outstanding swims over the past 3 months were:
- Brandon missing the Provincial cut by .21 and the AGN cut by .48 in the 50 Free at Mega City
- Ozgu's return to distance in the 800 Free at the Marilyn Bell Classic
- Danny missing the Provincial cut by .46 in the 50 Free
