Three members of the Burnaby Canoe Kayak Club are part of a 30-strong Team B.C. that is competing at the 2016 Spring Canoe Kayak championships in Dartmouth, NS next week.
Burnaby’s competitors are twins Katrina and Samantha Loutet and coach/athlete Wesley Hammer.
Earlier, the sisters were among 28 canoeists and kayakers who were selected to the Canada Summer Games long list squad. The athletes were chosen based on their results at the unde-16+ B.C. provincial championships last month in Kamloops.
As part of B.C.'s Canada Summer Games athletes, the squad will join together for a November fall training camp, followed by winter testing. Twenty athletes will represent B.C. at the 2017 Summer Games.
