This week’s flashback Friday goes to the 1998-99 conference champion women’s swim team! Featured in the photo (Front Row L to R): Lauren MacKay, Caitlyn Peterson, Amy Clattenburg, Amanda Ross, Amy Woodworth, Megan Hannam and Maryelle Hannam. (Middle Row L to R): Sarah Conrad, Emily Thompson, Kelley Zwicker, Sarah Mathieson, Allison Vigeant, Lisa Acker, Christine Bourne and Amber Mather. (Back Row L to R): Bruce Yip (Manager), Garnet Cross (Biomechanical Consultant), Connie MacIsaac, Meghan Garnier, Katy Legros, Barbara Hayward, David Fry (Head Coach) and Bette Hawary (Manager).  Angela MacAlpine is missing from this photo.

Megan Hannam, Amy Clattenburg, Amy Woodworth, Amber Mather, Christine Bourne, Allison Vigeant, Connie MacIsaac and Angela MacAlpine were all named to the AUS first team all-star list during this impressive season. The team MVP was Angela McAlpine.

Head coach David Fry had a remarkable record with the Tigers capturing a total of 16 women’s wins and 17 men’s wins over a span of 17 years. Fry also got the nod on ten AUS coach of the year awards throughout these 17 years of coaching - he is easily remembered as one of the most outstanding varsity coaches in Dalhousie’s history.

The Tigers host the annual Kemp-Fry Invitational swim meet (named in honour of Tigers head coaches Nigel Kemp and the late David Fry) this weekend at Dalplex. Best of luck to both the men’s and women’s teams!
