Penticton KISU swimmer Tyler Wall returned with a silver and bronze medal from the Junior Pan Pacific Championship recently.
The Grade 12 athlete was chosen to represent Canada after setting the best time in the 100-metre backstroke while swimming against the top Under 18 swimmers in the country. He has been swimming competitively for seven years and is carded by Swimming Canada. Wall said his next big goal is to make the national team for the Junior World Championship which will be held in Budapest, Hungary in August of 2019.
