A couple of Whitehorse Glacier Bears made an impact at the World Championship Trials, held this past week in Montreal.

Both Alexandra Gabor and Bronwyn Pasloski achieved best times not only personally, but with Swim B.C. as well.

Gabor's best result, a second places showing in the 200-m freestyle earned her not only a silver medal, but also a spot on her first senior national team.

Her time of 1:58.76 was under the FINA ‘A' time standard.

Gabor will compete at the Worlds in both the 200-m free and the 4 X 200 Free relay team.

The FINA Swimming World Championships will be held from July 17 to Aug. 2.

"This is a fantastic accomplishment," said Marek Poplawski, head coach of the Whitehorse Glacier Bears Swim Club. "Making the team is just fantastic.

"It's just a dream and it came true for her."

Pasloski didn't end up making the world's team, but said it should be a fantastic experience for Gabor.

"I'm happy for her that she gets to go," she said. "It's definitely going to be a good experience."

Pasloski's top finish was a fourth place showing in the 50-m breast stroke.

The only race she didn't set a personal best time was the 200-breast stroke, which Pasloski said was her most disappointing race as a result of being a bit under the weather.

She said she was hoping for a third place finish and chance for world's team.

"It was a tad disappointing, but I really can't complain," Pasloski said. "Next week my goal is going and beating all my times because even though I just got best times in everything I can do it again."

Pasloski plans on staying in Quebec, for another week for the age group nationals, which begin on Thursday.

She said she's pleased with how training is going and feels good heading into the age group nationals.

"I am looking forward to next week," Pasloski said. "I'm going to beat that (200-m) time."

She said the competition was really high for the world trials.

"Everyone was going for it and you had to go so fast in the morning," Pasloski said.

"Lots of people weren't ready for that, but I definitely had my ‘A' game on in the morning each day.

"That was something I am working on."

"It's great to see how Canada is progressing so well. There's Canadian records being broke across the board, just left, right and centre."
