MONTREAL — our southeast athletes were in Montreal recently for Water Polo Canada's National Provincial Championships.

Mahlyn Bomberak of Bienfait, Jennika Linthicum of Estevan, Ryan Hoeving of Weyburn and Rachel Tober of Oxbow joined athletes from Regina and Saskatoon on the 15U girls Team Sask.

The team faced squads from Ontario, Quebec and two from Alberta.

Team Sask finished fifth in round robin play, but fought their way through an exciting wildcard game and into the bronze medal game.

The age and experience of third-place Quebec proved to be too much for the Saskatchewan squad in the medal game, and they placed fourth in the tournament.

Tober now trains with the Regina Armada Club and is involved in Water Polo Sask's High School Excellence Program. She previously trained in Estevan. Bomberak and Hoeving will join Tober in Regina in the fall, but trained with the Estevan Sharks Club this season. Linthicum will continue to train with the Sharks in the fall.
