Delta Sungod Swim Club Break Top 15 at BC Provincial Champs
It was a great weekend of racing for the Delta Sungod Swim Club at this year’s BC Summer Provincial Championships. The club brought 8 swimmers to Kamloops in this 4 day long course swim meet. The meet played host to 500 of the fastest swimmers in British Columbia.
In order to attend swimmers had to meet some pretty tough qualifying times, and once there brave some pretty tough conditions. The team, consisting of Coach Cliff, Grace Bruneau (14), Mia Bruneau (12), Chloe Meredith Jensen (18), Madelyn Paredes Troughton (14), Gurshaan Sangha (15), Rebecca Soroke (15), Max Zha (17), and Emma Zhang (12), completed the weekend with a 12th place finish. This is one of Delta’s best finishes in 10 years!
Congratulations to new club record breaker, Madelyn Paredes Troughton who set a new club record in the Girls 13-14 Long Course 100m Breaststroke.
