Meredith Clark stole the show with a dominant performance in the water.
The 11-year-old was one of four swimmers from the Langley Olympians Swim Club who competed at the B.C. AA provincial championships in Kelowna. The meet featured 300 swimmers from across the province, all of whom were aiming to achieve their AAA qualifying times for this month’s championships in Victoria.
Clark won five gold medals — topping the field in the 100 free, 200 free, 400 free, 800 free and 400 individual medley — plus two silver and a bronze medal. The latter medals came in the 50 free, 200 back and 100 back, respectively.
And Clark also gained her AAA provincial times in four of the events.
Another swimmer doing well for himself was Joshua Kim.
The nine-year-old, despite being a couple of years younger than his competition, won gold in the 100 fly and silver in the 200 IM in the 11 and under category.
Avery Martin, 10, won gold in the boys’ 10 and under 200 freestyle race and was sixth overall in the 10 and under Swim Star Award.
And Mackenzie Dong, 10, was eight overall in the girls 10 and under Swim Star Award. She placed fourth in the 100 fly, 200 free and 100 back.
