wo athletes from the TRU swim team dove back into the water this past weekend, competing at the Western Canadian Open. Greg Petersen and Jagdeesh Uppal went to the competition in Winnipeg hoping to record times that would be fast enough to qualify them for a spot in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) swim championships that take place in Laval, Que. from Feb. 26 to 28. The competition was open to swimmers from both club and university teams, and with both athletes competing in the open age group category they were in the pool doing battle with some of the elite swimmers in Canada.
