Wallaceburg’s Madison Broad of the Chatham Y Pool Sharks competed from December 4-6, 2015 at the Ontario Junior International Swim Meet in Scarborough, Ontario for swimmers aged 18 and younger.
This meet brought fast competition from junior level swimmers across Canada, USA and even a team from Great Britain.
Madison had been selected to be a part of a tour team sent by Swim Ontario for this swim meet.
The team’s selection was based on their best individual results from the 2014-2015 season.
While competing at Ontario Junior International, Madison made an A final and two B final swims with best times in six out of her seven races dropping a total of 7.30 seconds. She finished 8th in 200 Back (2:11.63), 9th in 50 Back (28.95), 11th in 100 Back (1:00.95) and tied for 29th in 50 Fly (28.89).
“I felt like the competition was harder and it pushed me more. Also, I felt prepared and great in the water,” Madison stated.
