Cranbrook gets representation at BC provincials and an event in Red Deer.

Two Cranbrook Triton Swim Club Members competed this past weekend at the BC AA provincial championships in Surrey. The two girls joined forces with a lone member of the Elk Valley Dolphin Club to achieve personal best times, great memories, lots of experience and podium rights as they both brought home medals to the Kootenays.

Jayden White earned a bronze medal in her 50 meter freestyle with a time of 30.7 seconds and received gold in her 100 meter freestyle performance with a time of 1:06.63 when swimming against the top 12 year olds in BC.

Jacob Stratton earned bronze in his 50 meter freestyle with a time of 30.34 and placed 8th in the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:37.75. They were able to do 5 events each at the meet and they had personal best times in every event they competed.
