KISU’s Justin Fotherby broke two records while picking up six medals at the Hyack Festival Youth Cup in New Westminster May 15-17.
Fotherby set new records in the 100- and 200-metre freestyle for boys 11 and under, winning gold in those swims. He added a silver medal in the 100-m butterfly and 200-m breast stroke as well as bronze in the 50-m freestyle and 100-m breast stroke. At the same time, he collected 228 points for his club.
“Great job by Justin this weekend,” said coach Tina Hoeben in a press release. “We are really proud of how well he swam and single-handedly represented our club.”
Fotherby also broke the KISU club record in the 200-m breast stroke (boys 11/12). This record had been held by Brian MacPhail since 2007.
The Hyack Festival Youth Cup featured swimmers from Canada and the U.S. with AAA qualifying times.
