Sylvan Lake racquetball player earns bronze at World Junior Championships
A youth from Sylvan Lake is among a small group of Canadian athletes to bring home a medal from the 2018 International Racquetball Federation World Junior Championships held in Mexico this month.
Canadian athletes brought home four medals from the event held November 4-10, with Sylvan Lake’s Alexis Iwaasa earning a bronze medal in the U18 Girls Doubles, along with partner Marjolaine Parent of Saint-Jacques de Montcalm, QC.
Team Canada also won two other bronze medals in doubles events.
In the team standings, the Canadian girls team finished in fourth place and the boys team was sixth. This gave Canada a combined fourth place finish at the tournament, which is one place higher than in 2017.
