Aquanauts do well at meet

Several members of the Fort Frances Aquanauts competed in the Manitoba/Saskatchewan short-course championships last weekend and none of them have any reason to be hanging their heads.
“It was a great meet with excellent results,” enthused head coach Debbie Murray, adding the swimmers were just coming off the regional championship in Thunder Bay two weeks ago.
Karli McKinnon had a particularly outstanding weekend, breaking five club records, Murray noted.
