BURNABY, B.C. – The Alaska Nanooks swim team competed in Burnaby, British Columbia for a second meet in two days. Unfortunately, out of the 11 events, the Nanooks only managed to win one event. 
 
In event one, the Nanooks 400-yard medley relay team of Erika Kakazu, Kaia Norbye, Oda Bygdnes and Whitney McArthur took second with a time of 4:33.38. In the second event of the day, Tori Shoemaker grabbed the lone victory for the 'Nooks swim team, winning the 800-yard freestyle by nearly eight seconds with a time of 9:42.79.
 
The Nanooks would not claim another runner-up finish until the sixth event in the 100-yard butterfly when Oda Bygdnes finished second with a time of 1:06.23, just behind the winning time of 1:06.18. In the 100-yard backstroke, Kakazu finished second, putting up a time of 1:11.03. Jessica Williamson and Alexis Mattson rounded out fourth and fifth overall in the same event. 
 
In the final three events, the Nanooks pulled two more second place finishes out, one coming in the 400-yard freestyle as Syd Gulon put up a time of 4:47.37 and then a team of Norbye, Bygdnes, McCormick and McArthur put up a time of 4:12.37 in the 400-yard freestyle relay. 
 
Head coach Becca Weiland had nothing but positives to say about her swimmers performance in Burnaby this afternoon, "Today was another solid day down in Vancouver, B.C. We definitely demonstrated our strength in distance events this weekend, including podium sweeps in the 800 and 400 freestyle races. We are looking forward to taper over the next couple of weeks and ultimately the PCSC Conference Meet down in Los Angeles."
