Provincial Trials Weekend June 2026

Provincial Trials is not your average weekend of racing. Win an event here and you earn a direct ticket to Provincial Championships in July, no time standard required. That rule turns every final into something a little more electric, and our swimmers showed up accordingly. When the dust settled, Patriots had stacked up medals across the board and sent a very respectable group of athletes to the next level.

Esme Hockey left MNP with two #1 all-time club records: the 50 Fly (31.34) and the 100 Fly (1:15.24). She won the 50 Fly, earned her first-ever Champs standard, picked up a Youth Recognition award, and anchored a relay to a top-10 club record. Impressive work for an 11-year-old!

A solid new group of Patriots is heading to Champs in July. Owen Chen qualified with a Champs standard in both the 100 and 200 Breaststroke, including his first-ever Champs cut in the 100. Miia Sikorska punched her first Champs ticket in the 100 Fly while also sweeping the 50 and 100 Fly titles. Silas Kwok swept the 200 and 400 IM, earning event-winner bids in both.

Champs tickets continued to flow with more event wins: Megan Sauder took gold in the 200 Fly, Luca Young won the 800 Free, and Thomas Tait added gold in the 200 Fly. Meanwhile, veteran Jayden Wong won the 200 Free to secure his ticket, prolonging his Patriots career by squeezing in one more meet.

The 4x50 IM relay team of Claire Scholefield, Miia Sikorska, Evelyn Mckee, and Eva Vaage rounded out the golds with a stellar race.

Fourteen-year-old Evelyn Mckee went six for six on the weekend with an average improvement of 6.2%, earned a new Trials standard, and picked up a silver and bronze on the podium. Fifteen-year-old Ava Virag also went six for six, dropping time in every race she swam. Joining them in the clean-sheet club were fourteen-year-old Jaydon Ondic and eleven-year-old Maddyn Rushfeldt, who both went a perfect five-for-five on personal improvements.

Twelve-year-old Lauren Craig led the individual improvement charge, slicing 6.5% off her 50 Free, while thirteen-year-old Sophie Burger knocked 4.1% off her 200 IM. They weren't alone: fourteen-year-old Madeleine Broadley and fifteen-year-old Sonia Kwok dismantled their previous long-course bests, with Broadley posting huge drops in the freestyle and backstroke, while Kwok posted substantial drops in the butterfly and freestyle.

The team also notched nine new "Top Swims," a metric grading an athlete's absolute best performance against elite national baselines. Career-best swims came from thirteen-year-old Kinley Bolitho in the 200 Backstroke, fifteen-year-old Katelyn Ford and thirteen-year-old Haley Quon in the 50 Freestyle, and thirteen-year-old Yuseung Lee in the 200 Freestyle.

Every swimmer on deck this weekend has put in months of early mornings, long practices, and brutal sets. Whether they're heading to ManSask, the Championships in July, or wrapping up the season, we're incredibly proud of all the swimmers.
