The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs table tennis team had a strong showing at a tournament in Saskatoon last month.

Coach Lindsay Collins said that Ty Hoste, Jade Elliott, Hannah Mercer and Darian Dennis represented the school, and each won medals at the competition. Hoste earned two gold, a silver and two bronze medals, while Mercer won a gold, a silver and two bronze, Elliott captured a silver and two bronze, and Dennis brought home a silver and a bronze.

ECS students combined to win 14 medals at the meet.

“They competed in the open categories against anybody and any ages, and then they competed in their own age categories as well,” Collins said.

This was the last meet before the Christmas break, as two schools that normally have meets in the fall won’t host tournaments this year. ECS will have their home meet on Jan. 17 and 18, 2020.

They will also compete at a tournament in Regina next year before provincials in early April.

The club has about 15 members, but only four could compete at the Saskatoon tournament due to scheduling conflicts.

“We practise every Tuesday and Thursday,” said Collins.
