John Hague and Doug Elsey – representing our blistering LANE ONE – were solid performers in nailing down a 9th place in the 4x50 Mens Relay. If it wasn’t for their speed and advanced age, the team wouldn’t have stood a chance. Team members John Stibrany and Greg Proctor couldn’t believe their luck at drawing such stalwart team mates. Lane One will never be the same.

You can see the other finishes below for the rest of the team. Way to go team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's over!!!! We did good!!! Good bye Nationals!!!

Well - we came, we saw, we swam and we sort of conquered - but more than anything we had a really good time, met some great people, got nearly drowned in the "warm up" BUMPER POOL and swam our trunks off (not a pretty sight for some of us!).

All in all - a real hoot!!!
