Canadian Age Group Championships ~ July 21 – 26, 2010

Post Meet Update: Congratulations to all the Sharks for their efforts in the biggest meet of the 2009-2010 season. The highlight accomplishment for our swimmers was a bronze medal for Paige Murphy in the 400IM. Paige swam a personal best swim of 5:09.72 as the whole Sharks contingent cheered her on. A third place finish in the 14 year old womens category for the recently turned 14 year old Murphy is a huge accomplishment. This time currently places Murphy in 4th place in the country in her age group for this event. Paige’s previous time for the 400IM of 5:10.27 achieved at the Hyack Festival in Vancouver in May has currently earned her 1st place in Canada as a 13 year old female for this event in the 2009-2010 long course swim season. Way to go, Paige!
