π What a weekend in Winnipeg at GPI! π
The Kenora Swimming Sharks brought home medals, personal bests, and even NATIONAL RECORDS from the Great Plains Invitational and we couldn't be more proud of every single swimmer who competed.
π₯ Sophie English broke both the Ontario AND Canadian records in the 200m backstroke, won six gold medals, and took home the High Point Trophy as the top female para athlete of the meet. Absolutely incredible, Sophie!
π₯ Liam Serino swept the breaststroke events and added gold in the 50m freestyle.
π₯Josephine Hill smashed the 1:30 barrier in the 100m breaststroke and bronze in 100M & 200M breaststroke.
And that's just the highlights β from our youngest swimmers to our senior athletes, the entire team showed up and delivered. Huge personal bests, finals appearances, and top-eight finishes across the board.
"Every swimmer contributed to a very successful weekend." Head Coach Janet Hyslop
