Seltenreich-Hodgson, the 17-year-old Nepean-Kanata Barracuda, won her first international gold medal on Europe’s Mare Nostrum circuit, clocking a 2:14.74 time in the 200 m medley.
Jewell, 19, placed second in the 1,500 m free at the July 5-8 Canada Cup event in Montreal, registering a time of 17:18.49.
