Fourteen athletes from the Estevan Mermaids synchronized swim club and their coaches, Shannon Wanner and Susan Swirski, attended the Marnie Eistetter Figure Meet in Humboldt on the weekend.
The meet was jointly hosted by Synchro Saskatchewan, the Wynyard Stingrays and Humboldt Synchro on Saturday. It was followed by the Whole Athlete Development Camp on Sunday.
Their results included: in the 10-and-under division, Elle Meyers was 11th and Sierra Mantei finished 14th. In the provincial stream 11-12 division, Rachel Duncan was 18th, Sarah Greening was 23rd, Rowyn Shier was 28th and Nevaeh Wakely came in 30th. In the provincial stream novice 11-12, Sienna Kuntz was ninth.

Also, Haley Copeland of Estevan was named to the Development High Performance Program and placed third in the 13-15 provincial stream category.
The club also attended the annual awards banquet on the Saturday night, celebrating the accomplishments of athletes, coaches and volunteers throughout Saskatchewan in all levels of synchro. Synchro Canada officially changed their name in 2017 to Canada Artistic Swimming to better reflect the sport and for this reason Synchro Sask voted for a name change at the 2018 annual general meeting to Saskatchewan Artistic Swimming.
The club would like to congratulate its athletes on their hard work and sportsmanship at this meet.
