Jewell collects another golden treasure

Add another medal to the trophy case – and another impressive victory against a

national field of Canada’s best – for Ottawa’s Karyn Jewell.

Just a week after her 18th birthday, the St. Peter Catholic High School student won the women’s 400-metre individual medley at a Canada Cup meet in Toronto. Jewell’s time of four minutes, 48.23 seconds was just .52 seconds off the meet record set by Tanya Hunks, a former teammate and idol of Jewell’s when she lived in B.C.

The Gatineau Phénix swimmer also won the ‘B’ final of 200 m butterfly.
