SHERWOOD PARK, Alta. For the second day in a row, Yukoners struck precious medals in the pool at the 2007 Western Canada Summer Games.

Bronwyn Pasloski made it four-for-four in her event finals at Millennium Place, picking up a silver medal in the girls' 200-metre breaststroke and a bronze in the girls' 200-m IM Monday evening. Pasloski had already won a silver and a bronze on Sunday.

Alexandra Gabor also added to Team Yukon's medal total, with her second piece of hardware at the Games. Gabor grabbed bronze in the girls' 800-metre free Monday, to go with her bronze from the girls' 200-m free Sunday.

It was a close race to the finish for bronze in the 800-m free, and Gabor managed to touch the wall first, by less than a second.

'I was so tired, but I just told myself to keep going,' said Gabor about her distance event. 'I was just motivating myself to stay ahead of some of the other girls.'

Pasloski was also feeling the fatigue and both girls had good reason, considering they packed all of their events, finals and preliminaries, into three long days. Plus, the two athletes were swimming in their fourth consecutive competition all in the span of about a month.

Tanner Cassidy spent a good chuck of time in the pool as well, making a number of finals at the Games after an eye-opening trip to age group nationals just a couple of weeks ago.

He swam the boys' 1,500-m free Monday, and then just 10 minutes later, was called upon for the third leg of the boys' 400-m IM relay.

Despite the fact he'd just completed the mega-distance event, where he finished seventh, Cassidy had enough left in the tank to make up some major ground for his team in the relay, helping them edge rival Northwest Territories in a thriller for fifth place.

Also representing Team Yukon in the boys' relay were Thomas Chretien, Brice Harding and Jason Zrum.

Pasloski and Gabor joined Ariana Edelman and Kirsten Berube in the girls' 400-IM relay, where they handily beat the Northwest Territories to finish fifth.

The relays were a nice way to end what everyone agreed was a very successful competition for the Yukon swim team. They collected the only six medals for the territory in Phase 1 of the Games, posted numerous personal bests and even set a new British Columbia record (Gabor for fastest 100-m freestyle swim).

'I think we did great,' stated Pasloski. 'It's going to make a big impact on the club.'

'It was fun being part of Team Yukon, because all of us are usually Glacier Bears,' summed up Cassidy, who was pleased he made so many finals at the Games, particularly in the 400-m free.

'My 100-m fly, I was happy I got a best time. I took quite a bit off. The 400, I was a little surprised actually. I didn't think I'd take that much time off.'

Cassidy said it was inspiring for the rest of the team to watch Pasloski and Gabor reach the podium over the last two days of competition.

'They're great and classy,' he stated.

Next up for most of the Yukon swimmers is some much-deserved time off before the new fall season starts up.

For Gabor and Pasloski, however, it's a trip to California for their fifth straight competition.

This time, they'll be members of Team Canada and swimming among their own age groups.

'I'm just hoping to do my best and win some medals,' said Gabor.

'I just want to have fun, do my best and get the experience,' added Pasloski.

So far in their young careers, their best efforts have added up to a lot of podium finishes.
