First in Canada

I just have to share... My nine year old son, Gage, is ranked FIRST in CANADA for boys born in 2003 in the 400 free (that's 16 lengths of our local 25m pool). Team aquatics sponsors a power ranking website that highlights all of Canada's swimmers.
Congrats to him :)

Fantastic. Not just 1st in canada, but 3 and 22 seconds ahead of his nearest rivals. You have a right to be as proud as punch Kim. Please pass my congratulations onto Gage, and I look forward to seeing him swim at the 2020 Olympics!! Have you any idea of a world ranking?

@seanoneill I'm not sure of his ranking outside of Canada. I'll have to do some research.
