Three Terrace Bluebacks won medals at the northwest regional swim meet in Kitimat on May 13-15.
Emma Kuirinlahti and Juliet Lukasser both won silver and Avery Back earned bronze in their categories.
Lukasser said her highlight of the swim meet was being able to win alongside her friend Back.
“We were really happy, because we always wanted to medal together, and it has never happened before,” said Lukasser.
Back said that she had tough competition in her category, but she feels that she swam really well.
“I put a lot of effort into it,” she said, adding that she also did her winning trick.
“My mom doesn’t get me gatorade unless she says I am going to win a medal, so I got gatorade,” she laughed.
Kuirinlahti said she felt really good about the competition and her highlight was swimming the relays.
“We won first in both of the relays that we did, and I had two other relays,” she said.
Best times were earned by Aubrey Gingles, Avery Back, Bella Lang, Colby Bowles, Emma Kuirinlahti, Juliet Lukasser, Nolen Knox, Reese Nester, and Rowan Coosemans.
