Sydney Sawa made great strides in 2005-2006, moving up to second all around in the junior competition at the Canadian championships in May. She also won medals on beam and uneven bars in the individual competition for her best overall result to date. Look for Sydney to play a key role for Canada at the Pan American Junior Championships where she will be a threat in all events.
