Two seconds are all that separated Christian Desjarlais from a medal at the Canada West swimming championships.
The first-year swimmer was fourth in the 400m freestyle over the weekend in Edmonton.
He was the lone Spartan to qualify for an 鈥楢鈥� final and after finishing seventh in the preliminaries, Desjarlais improved by more than three seconds, finishing the final in 4:03.03.
鈥淎ll of our swimmers had second swims tonight, so that was good, and the whole meet was a good experience for our team,鈥� said coach Brian Metcalfe.
鈥淲e had some good racing and now we have something to build upon for next year. We have lots of work to do but it was a good meet overall.鈥�
The Spartans men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 teams both placed eighth, with 60 and 42 points, respectively.
