The Dynamo Swim Club’s Andrew Li picked up the full complement of breaststroke medals at the recent Lower Mainland relay championships in Vancouver.
As part of a 13-swimmer team, Li set the tone with a win in his under-12 division 50-metre breaststroke race, finishing in 46.19 seconds. It was also a new personal best, cutting more than four seconds off a mark set in February.
The 11-year-old would add silver in the 100m breast and a bronze in 200m breast, again establishing new personal fastest times. Li was fourth fastest in the 200m medley, and also finished seventh in 50m freestyle.
Brother Nathan Li scored a pair of silvers in his division, placing second in the 50m and 100m breast races. The 13-year-old set new PBs in both, with times of 43.09 and 1:34.64.
He also placed sixth in 200m breast.
The Dynamo’s Kathy Wu collected bronze in 400m medley, finishing nine seconds faster (7:00.52) than her previous top time. The 12-year-old also stood 10th in 50m breast.
