Special Olympics swimmer Teagen Purvis getting familiar with podium at Canada Summer Games

The Selkirk Dolphins Swim Club might have to build an extra trophy shelf for Teagen Purvis, who on Tuesday won her third medal of the Canada Summer Games.

Purvis struck gold in the 100-metre Special Olympics backstroke, her second gold for Team Manitoba in as many days. She also has a silver medal.

Purvis won gold in the 100-metre Special Olympics freestyle event on Monday, and then added a silver in the 50-metre Special Olympics breaststroke event.

Halle West of Winnipeg was thrilled to win her second medal, collecting silver in the 200-metre breaststroke on Tuesday. The 19-year-old collected silver on Monday in the female sprint.

"My first time being here, it's so cool, everyone's so happy," said West. "It would be really cool to win another medal — I'm going in first for the 100-metre breaststroke (on Wednesday), but I'll try my best and whatever happens, I'll be happy."

West's teammate, 17-year-old Eric Dupre of Winnipeg, pocketed the bronze in Tuesday's 400-metre freestyle event. He became the first Manitoba athlete to medal in that race since 2005.

Some of the other big winners in the pool on Tuesday included:

Delia Lloyd of Ontario, gold in the women's 100-metre backstroke, Thomas Caruso of B.C., gold in the men's 100-metre backstroke, Katie Cosgriffe of Ontario, gold in the women's 50-metre backstroke (S1-5);

Bailey O'Regan of Ontario, gold in the women's 400-metre freestyle, Aidan Erickson of B.C., gold in the men's 400-metre freestyle, Julie Brousseau of Ontario, gold in the women's 200-metre breaststroke, Cole Tanner of Alberta, gold in the men's 200-metre breaststroke.
