Grande Prairie Piranhas swimmer Marley Monson named to Team Canada
A local swimmer will don the maple leaf on home turf this summer at a major international junior competition.
Why it matters
The selection highlights Grande Prairie's growing presence in national-level amateur swimming.
Marley Monson, a member of the Grande Prairie Piranhas swim club, has been selected to represent Canada at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships later this summer.
The event holds added significance for Monson because it will be held at a home pool, giving the young swimmer a chance to compete internationally in familiar territory.
Monson is one of the athletes chosen to don the Canadian colours at the meet, which brings together top junior swimmers from across the Pacific region.
