Three Chilliwack YMCA Orcas excelled at the BC provincial synchronized swimming championships.

Neill was fourth in the level five 15-and-over figure event, and third in the level 5 solo event. Her combined results gave her a silver medal.

Duet partners  Jones and Strickland placed eighth in their respective level one and two figure events.

Along with a fourth place finish in the level two duet 13-15 age group, they had a solid fourth place championship placing.

Strickland competed in the level two 12-and-under solo event, taking silver and finishing less than a 10th of a point out of top spot.
