The
province should be extremely proud of the amazing accomplishments of
this years Junior Provincial Team. Lead by Head Coach Kelly Hogan
and Assistant Coach Jennifer Shaver; the team placed 4th overall in
the team category surrounded by some great competition. With Walnut
Creek Aquanuts taking the top podium spot, Team Ontario was only
behind Tokyo, Japan and Quebec. The girls worked very hard and
showed wonderful determination to bring the team performance up one
position in the final event, which was VERY exciting. Oh and don't
worry it wasn't all grueling work; the team was also able to enjoy
all the body surfing, sand and frozen yogurt they could handle in
the days following the competition! The coaches and swimmers would
like to thank Synchro Ontario for the outstanding support and
opportunity, as well as Hawaii and USA Synchro for their top notch
hospitality. These incredible synchronized swimmers did an excellent
job as competitors and as ambassadors for both Ontario and Canada.
