Outstanding Meet for Bruneau at Vancouver-Fraser Valley Divisional Championships
It was a weekend of outstanding swimming for Delta Sungod swimmers this past weekend. The twelve qualified swimmers at this year’s Vancouver/Fraser Valley Divisional Championships did a great job of stepping up, and stepping out of their comfort zones to get things done. Leading the way this weekend was Mia Bruneau (12) who had a stellar meet with three new BC Provincial championship qualifying times, and a whole slew of gold medals.
As a whole the Delta Sungod swimmers did a great job of representing their club at the three day meet in Chilliwack, BC. The Vancouver/Fraser Valley Divisional Championships is a great setup meet for younger and newer athletes to dip their toes into championships swimming.
Congratulations to all the swimmers who achieved new personal bests. Swimmers who were
For many of the athletes attending this meet was a great opportunity to go after a few more provincial qualifying events for the July championships. Swimmers had the opportunity to race their secondary events, or events that they had not quite qualified in yet.

The many swimmers in the club the months of July and August are a time to relax and reflect on swimming. For those swimmers who are attending championship meets (BC Provincials, Canadian Summer Championsips, BC Summer Games, Far Westerns), it is another chance at some hardware, a new club record, a personal best of the achievement of a personal goal that was set sometime in their swimming careers.
We wish athletes training through July the best of luck on their meets.
