Two Prince Albert Sharks shone at the Winnipeg International Championships in Winnipeg and Ken Demchuk International Championships in Vancouver this past weekend, Dec. 16-18. Clara Gelhorn and Ali Diehl went to these high standard swimming championships with lots of ambitions and retuned back with lots of success!
Ali Diehl, 13, competed in Vancouver with the top high-performance Para swimmers. In her class, Ali won the 50-meter, 100-meter and 400-meter Freestyle events, as well as the 200-metre individual medley. She was a second in the 100-metre breaststroke where Ali’s she recorded a time very close to meeting the national Para-Swimming time trails.
Clara Gelhorn, 13, competed at the same time in Winnipeg. Clara put forward a magnificent performance in her first international swimming championships. She had been sick and only retuned to practice a couple of weeks before the competition. With iron desire, super devotion, and hard work, she cut 52 seconds to set a personal best time and finish fourth in the 1,500-meter freestyle with “AA” time for 14 years old. Clara also qualified for the finals in the 200-meter butterfly to finish sixth dropping 10 seconds to set another personal best time. She also set a personal best time in the 100-meter Freestyle.
The Prince Albert Sharks offer a variety of programs to meet all athletes’ potentials and ambitions not only on the competitive level but also on the pre-competitive level. Prince Albert Sharks Swim Club accepts year-round registration.
