Young swimmers from the British Virgin Islands continue to impress on the world stage, with two youngsters recently copping ‘Second Place High Point Honours’ in different categories at the US Virgin Islands (USVI) Short Course Championship held in St Thomas on November 14.
The two top performers for team BVI were Kurt Salapare and Khadija Sampson.
They were among a contingent of six team members; the others being Jaden Marshall, Kassia Haymer, Arianna Angus, and Giselle Archibald Bowers.
Elsworth Phillip, coach of the team, expressed satisfaction with the general performance of the six swimmers at the event held on November 14 and 15.
“Our swimmers are showing growth and maturity every time they get the opportunity to compete at meets like this,” Phillip said.
He added that he is expecting greater things from the swimmers in the VI Long Course Championship scheduled for May 2016 in St Croix, USVI.
