The Humboldt Hammerheads Senior swimmers were in Moose Jaw this past weekend competing in the Mike Mintenko swim meet.

Despite tough cold, windy and rainy conditions inside of a 50m pool, it was a successful weekend for the team, with many swimmers setting some new personal best records.  

Aidra Angelstad finished off with a pair of gold medals and had eight total top three finishes.  

Taylor Possberg also picked up one victory and collected three medals in total. 

Here is a listing of the Hammerheads medal winners in Moose Jaw.

It was a successful season on and off the ice for a local figure skater.  

Annagail Ell capped off a triumph campaign recently when she won the Provincial StarSkate Award.   

Most of Ell’s awards have been a result of accomplishments on the ice, but the Provincial Star Athlete Award is based both on the ice achievements of the skater and required three letters of recommendation.

Steps have been made towards a Regional Emergency Mangement Operation in Humboldt and the surrounding area.
