ESTEVAN - Two former members and one current swimmer with the Estevan Sharks water polo program have qualified for nationals with Team Saskatchewan.

Water Polo Canada held the National Championship League 17U Western Championships in Saskatoon from April 19-21. A total of 14 teams from across the Prairie provinces attended.

The Team Sask female squad won the gold medal and will compete in nationals in Montreal from May 24-26. The women’s team includes Estevan Sharks' athlete Jennika Linthicum, and former Sharks Mahlyn Bomberak, Ryan Hoeving and Rachel Tober.

Team Saskatchewan opened with a 12-10 win over the Renegades Black out of Calgary, but then defeated two B.C. teams, Fraser Valley 16-7 and Surrey 9-5.

Saskatchewan knocked off the Renegades Gold in the semifinal, setting up a rematch with Renegades Black in the final, a game Saskatchewan won 14-9.
