NB Strikes Gold In Canada Summer Games

Team NB won four medals yesterday (Thursday) at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. We enter the final day of competition for the first week of the Canada Games with chances to snag two more medals.

Gold medals have already gone to sailor Fraser Wells of Rothesay and wrestler Elizabeth "Bea" Fagan of Oromocto, while Bailey Theriault of Rexton and Shalina Mason of St. Stephen both got bronze in wrestling.


The men’s baseball team meets Team Alberta in an early-afternoon bronze medal game. We lost 7-0 to British Columbia in a late semi-final game in nearby Coaticook, Que.
In basketball, Team NB squares off against Quebec in the bronze medal match. 

Women’s softball returns to the field against Saskatchewan for fifth place. The team earned the right to Friday’s game after beating Alberta 7-0 Thursday.
After a week in the pool, swimmers head to the open water competition in Lake Memphremagog Friday morning. 

Mary Ketterling of Fredericton, Kelsea Vessey of Fredericton, Gabriel Boivin of Dieppe and David Thibodeau of Fredericton will take part in the 5,000-metre swim.
