The Lindsay sisters made waves at the 23rd annual Kamloops June Classic last weekend.

Seventeen Yukon swimmers participated in the B.C swim meet held June 5 to 7.

Six broke club records.

But it was the Lindsay sisters – Cassis and Rennes – who led the way for the Whitehorse Glacier Bears.

Both achieved national qualifying times and will represent the territory at the 2015 Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Quebec July 29 to August 3.

Cassis Lindsay (girls 13-14) qualified to eight A finals, winning gold in each of the 50 free, 100 free, 200 free and 200 IM, before adding a bronze in the 100 back.

Rennes (girls 11-12) also qualified for the A finals in all of her swims, winning gold in the 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 free, 200 IM and 400 IM. She tacked on two bronze medals in the 50 fly and 100 free for good measure.

“The hot weather did not distract our athletes,” said coach Malwina Bukszowana in a statement to the Star.

“It looked like they all have recharged their batteries and swam best times.”

The weekend meet served as a good test for swimmers heading to the upcoming provincial AA and AAA championships, Bukszowana noted.

“It was great to see so many Whitehorse Glacier Bears swimmers in the finals,” she said.

“Almost in every final and in every stroke we had somebody racing. It was easy to notice our swimmers going hard and staying strong under the water off the walls.”

U10 swimmer Kassua Dreyer won a silver medal in the 200 free – one of her five A final swims.

Thomas Bakica (boys 11-12) earned gold in the 200 fly, silver in the 200 breast and bronze in the 50 free after qualifying for six A finals.

Aidan Harvey (boys 11-12) picked up a bronze in the 100 back – one of his four A final swims – to round out the medal haul at 17.

Hannah Kingscote (three A finals) and Brooklyn Massie (five A finals) also shone for the Yukon team.

Competing with girls 11-12, Emma Boyd made four B finals while Ella Pollock-Shepherd qualified for one A final alongside three B finals.

Pollock-Shepherd – a Glacier Bears sophomore – continues to impress Bukszowana with her attitude.

“Ella listens to every bit of coaching advice and she goes out hard in every race,” the coach said.

“She likes to push herself to the limits and as Ella says with a big smile: ‘I feel very good after that.’”

Other notable performances came from 14-year-old Luke Bakica, who swam four B finals, earning victory in his 200 IM swim.

Meghan Pennington swam in five B finals; Cassidy Cairns qualified for two; Rebecca Koser broke many of her best times and qualified for the 50 breast B final.

The Glacier Bears also swam several relays, and the U12 girls team anchored by Rennes Lindsay finished second in the 4x50 free swim and third in the 4x50 medley.

Massie and Boyd swam both races while Pennington and Pollock-Shepherd took one turn each.

The older girls team earned fifth- and sixth-place finishes while the Yukon’s male group finished sixth in the medley competition.

Both Lindsay sisters also broke club records, with Rennes setting a new standard of 2:41.73 in the 200 fly for girls age 11-12.

Meanwhile, Cassis set new benchmarks in both the 50 and 100 back for girls 13-14, with respective times of 33.20 and 1:10.16.

Other record breakers included Luke Bakica (200 breast); Thomas Bakica (50 free, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly); Harvey (100 back, 400 free); and Massie (50 back).
