Despite a change in venue,
Picton’s Jess Craig continues to demonstrate why she is one of
the elite swimmers in the nation.
A member of the Ernestown Barracudas’s Swim Club, the former
Picton Dolphin captured two gold medals last weekend at the prestigious
senior provincial swim meet at the University of Toronto.
Craig, 17, captured both the 100-metre backstroke and the
200-metre backstroke competing against older swimmers in the field of
70 for both events.
Craig managed to shave an impressive fours seconds off her personal best in the 200-metre event.
Later this month, Craig will be competing in Switzerland as one of four Canadian University representatives.
