Swimmer Noemie Thomas has clocked a series of personal bests after grabbing three gold, a silver and a bronze medal so far at the Canadian Swimming Championships at the Shaw Centre in Saskatoon this week.

Thomas, 18, who is ranked 13th in the world in women's 50-metre butterfly, and is normally a butterfly sprint specialist, is making the most of her opportunity at nationals this week to

enter several different events she doesn't normally compete in.

She is also swimming in backstroke events and all the relays she could enter.

She has dominated her butterfly events, winning the 50 metres Wednesday in a personal-best 26.23 seconds and the 100 metres Friday in 58.19.

In the fall, she is headed to the University of California Berkeley on a full-ride scholarship.
