Miszkiel and Kemp Set to Take on
the World
August 25, 2010 -
Boardworks divers Shane Miszkiel and Rachel Kemp will lead Team Canada
next week at the 2010 Fina World Junior Diving Championships in Tucson,
Arizona, September 1 - 6.
For Kemp, already a World Junior bronze medallist in 2008, even
qualifying to compete in Tucson was a victory. After sustaining a
serious shoulder injury in May at a Grand Prix event in Florida,
competing at the Junior National Championships in Winnipeg in July, was
uncertain. But she was able to recover in time to win a silver
medal in Winnipeg and earn a spot on the World Junior team.
The 2010 World Junior Championships will be a graduation of sorts for
Kemp's teammate Shane Miszkiel. Tucson will be the third World
Junior Championships at which he has competed and will also be
the final junior competition of his career as he prepares to move on to
the senior ranks next season. Miszkiel, a triple gold medallist in
Winnipeg, will compete in all three events in Tucson and hopes to
improve upon his 18th place finish at the 2008 World Juniors in Aachen,
Germany.The
competition starts September 1. For more information about the 2010 Fina
