Durham Synchro Ends the Season in a HUGE Way!

Gatineau, Quebec was the setting for a fierce show down during the 2011 Espoir Championships and 13-15 National Team Trials (NTT) held on June 1-5, 2011. Hosted by the Gatineau Synchro Club, the 2011 Espoir Championships are a long awaited finale to the 2010-2011 synchronized swimming season and one of the last chances to best rival clubs. The Durham Synchro Club left its mark on the competition as the 13-15 Yr. Old National team, coached by Julia Maclean and Head Coach Holley Lundmark, took the sixth podium spot in Team Finals Championships, beating two other teams from Ontario with who they’ve been in stiff competition throughout the season. This finish raises Durham Synchro to the second place spot in all of Ontario.

Amongst the 220 competitors from Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, the members of DSC’s 13-15 team held strong in the Figures segment of this competition. The results are as follows.
Kionna Whyte (21), Wenjing Deng (30), Sarah Masters (46), Caitlin Schropp (60), Kristyn Davies (69), Laura Walsh (71), Meg Grylls (75) and Reyanne Padgett (85).

Demonstrating artistic excellence and athletic flare the 13-15 Yr. duet teams of Kionna Whyte and Sarah Masters (20) and Kristyn Davies and Meg Grylls (26) proved that they were formidable opponents in the Duet Team Finals Championships.

These amazing rankings have resulted in special recognition from Synchro Swim Ontario, Ontario’s synchronized swimming governing body, to Kionna Whyte who has been offered a position on Team Ontario’s “A” team while Sarah Masters and Wenjing Deng have been offered a position on “B” team.

This team has had a fantastic season racking up awards and special recognition wherever they go. New ribbons and awards decorate their personal showcases. With this proven track record, the 2011-2012 season will be highly anticipated.
