JPII duo earns provincial bronze in doubles badminton
For Grade 11 students Guiel Salunga and Kaitlin Tarasoff, badminton has been a passion and a craft the pair have enjoyed since Grade 8 at John Paul II Collegiate. Now with a provincial bronze medal to their credit in doubles badminton, it is a pastime that gave the two memories to last a lifetime.
First getting involved in the sport three years ago, the pair waited until Grade 10 to combine as a unit in doubles badminton, making it to provincials in their first year together, last season.
While the tandem may not have medaled last year, the experience of witnessing Saskatchewan’s best players at the high school level was one that both parties credit their success this time around.
