The 14-year-old now has complete set of medals at the national junior swimming championships in Toronto after winning gold today in the girls (13-17) 5,000-metre open water swim.

Sullivan had already displayed her talent over much shorter distances at the national event, winning a silver medal in the 400m freestyle and a bronze medal in the 200m free.

Next week, Sullivan will compete for Newfoundland and Labrador’s team at the Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.
