Some competitors at a local swim meet last weekend are hoping to compete at the national level this summer.
The Yukon Invitational Championship swim meet was held April 29-30 at the Canada Games Center in Whitehorse.
Swimmers from the Whitehorse Glacier Bears Swim Club competed in the timed finals of freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and medley.
Sabine Keesey was one of the athletes who raced against the clock in hopes of qualifying for the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games which take place August 6-21.
“Most of my events have been pretty exciting,” she said after competing in the 100-metre butterfly timed finals. “I think it’s going very well.”
Eleven competition records and four club records were broken at the event, meet manager Fraser Pearce said in an email after the April 30 competition.
