Eastern Canadian Championships- Highlights !
17 swimmers represented the Newmarket Stingrays at the Eastern Canadian Championships, which were held in London from Feb. 17- 20th. The meet featured most of the fastest swimmers from Eastern Canada.
At the same time, the Western version was being held in Kamloops, B.C. and Swimming Canada combined the results from the two meets into “Virtual Results”
There are 2 age groups for the meet: 15 & under and 16 & over for the girls; and 16 & under and 17 & over for the boys.
Congratulations to all of our swimmers on our very strong 9th place finish overall!
