LETHBRIDGE – Returning to competitive swimming for the first time in 2022, the Pronghorn swim team had a positive return to the pool as they build towards the national championship later in March.
 
"We got some great feedback on our training and are on track for U SPORTS at the end of March," said Pronghorns Head Coach Peter Schori.  "First years' Hunter Stewardson and Colton Mersereau had their best meets to date as Pronghorns."
 
"Colson took a big step, winning three events and posting best times in each and  Hunter won all the breaststroke events moving into the Horns top five all time."
 
Stewardson set the Horns all-time fourth fastest time in the 100 metre breaststroke and fifth fastest time in the 50 metre breaststroke
 
"Apollo Hess and Chris Alexander were also very good for us, leading the relays to great swims and overall a really good racing for our team."
 
Apollo Hess, who won five Canada West medals earlier this year, has been rewriting the Pronghorn record book in his first year of competition and broke the school record in the 100 metre butterfly.
 
He also broke two Canada West records and set new school records in all three breaststroke events earlier this season.
 
The U SPORTS Championships will be hosted by the Laval Rouge et Or, March 24^th to 26^th in Quebec City.
