After a 10-gold performance at her home provincials earlier this summer, Nepean-Kanata Barracudas swimmer Mia Zahab collected another big medal haul at the July 29-Aug. 3 Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Quebec City.
The 13-year-old won 3 bronze in the girls’ 14-and-under 400 m individual medley and 400 & 800 m freestyle, and helped NKB to a pair of gold in the 14U 4×200 m free relay and 4×100 m free relay – the latter in Ontario-record time.
Also part of the team were Reagan MacDonald, Raeleigh Mooij and Amelia Nielsen – who also earned silver in 14U 200 & 400 m and bronze in 100 m free.
NKB’s Janet Zhao and Montana Champagne of the Greater-Ottawa Kingfish were national champs in the girls’ age 16-18 200 m breaststroke and boys’ age 17-18 200 m fly respectively, while Alexandre Perreault of the Ottawa Swim Club was a triple-gold medallist in the 16-year-old boys’ 50 & 100 m butterfly and 100 m free.
