Two Swift Current Comprehensive High School athletes have made Saskatchewan's U23 Canada Summer Games track team.

Carter Tuplin and Rowan Reimer will both compete in the 400m hurdles.

Tuplin was recently named the SCCHS male Outstanding Graduating Athlete of the Year, while Reimer received the male Athletic Leadership Award.

Both reflected on track when thinking about the highlights of their high school athletic careers.

"Winning the aggregate in grade 9 was huge," Tuplin said. "That was a huge accomplishment. Especially because that was my first year of track. I didn't really know anything yet and that kind of got my career kickstarted.

"This year in the hurdles race, I ended up winning, coming from way behind. I just stayed calm and trusted my training, and I ended up winning that race."

For Reimer it was also a blast from the past.

"Grade 9 1500-meter race, I got the gold medal there," Reimer said. "That was pretty cool. Just all of it was great."

Tuplin and Reimer teamed together to win the 4x400m gold medal and 4x100m bronze medal at SHSAA provincials this year.

They will now have the opportunity to represent Saskatchewan at the Canada Summer Games in Newfoundland this summer.
