Team B.C. curlers Surrey and North Delta will be well represented on the curling rinks at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George next year.
The teams to represent B.C. at the games were chosen at a playdown event in Vernon March 21-23 with two local skips emerging on top.
In girls' competition, Seaquam's Sarah Daniels emerged as the skip of B.C.'s best. She is a two-time provincial high school champion and the 2014 BC junior champion.
She is joined by 2014 BC Winter Games champion Dezaray Hawes at third, and Thompson/Okanagan duo of second Cierra Fisher and lead Sydney Hofer.
The quartet went undefeated through round-robin play to clinch the spot on Team BC.
In the boys draw, Surrey's Tyler Tardi skipped a rink of players from around the province (third Sterling Middleton, second Nicholas Umbach and lead Timothy Henderson) to victory in Vernon.
Tardi was named the winner of the 2014 W.R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence at the recent B.C. Winter Games in Mission.
