Lethbridge – In his first full off-season of recruiting, Pronghorn swim coach Peter Schori is pleased to announce the signing of blue chip prospect Kurt Carolus.
 
During his first season at the helm of the Pronghorn swim team, Schori achieved notable improvements to the program. The Horns qualified nearly twice as many athletes for the Canada West Championships in addition to sending 11 athletes to the CIS Championships in Calgary.
 
Carolus, a South Africa national, resides in Saskatoon. He comes to the ‘Horns from the Saskatoon Goldfins and is the third ranked graduating High School swimmers in Canada in 200 butterfly.
 
“Kurt is a gold star recruit to our program, he is already swimming at a CIS top 10  level and wants to do the work to be better, said Schori. “ We have a great incoming class and having Kurt choose the U of L to study and swim gets everyone excited about what we can accomplish next year.”
 
Carolus won the 200 metre fly at 2012 Western Canada Championships and finished fourth at 2012 African Swimming Championships in 200 metre Fly. Last summer, Carolus swam in both the Canadian and South African Olympic trails where he made it to the semi-finals in the 200 metre fly at the South African trails.
 
Prior to joining the ‘Horns in the fall, Carolus will represent Team Saskatchewan at the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
