MAKING A SPLASH. Kayla Noelle Sanchez, 5'7" seventeener, sank 2 junior world swimming records in 2 years. She is a member of Team Canada for the2018 Commonwealth Games. Her father, Noel Sanchez, comes from Mabalacat but worked in Singapore where Kayla was born.
Promising Olympic hopeful, Kayla Noelle Sanchez is a young, versatile star swimmer currently making waves in the world of competitive swimming. Just seventeen, she has re-written 3 World Junior Swimming Records (2 in 50m. and 1 in 25m. pool) in just two years, named to Canada’s 2018 Commonwealth Games where she collected a medal, and garnered 2 more at the Pan Pacific Games in Tokyo, Japan.
Just as exciting to know is that Sanchez, is part-Kapampangan,
one of two daughters of Noel Sison Sanchez of Dau, Mabalacat, Pampanga and Ma.
Susana Pramoso, a nurse from Baguio. The couple used to be overseas workers
based in Singapore, and it was there that Kayla was born on 7 April 2001.
In 2002, when Kayla was just a year old, the Sanchezes
migrated to Canada. Few years later, she joined the community learn- to-swim
programs and became so proficient that she reached a level where she could no
longer advance at her age. Her coach advised her to join competitive swim club.
Prior to that, as a Grade 3 student, she tried out and
made the school swim team and competed for the first time at the Annual
Catholic District Board Swimming Championship. Shortly after, she joined a
competitive swim club, and immediately, she made waves at the pool. At the
short course Ontario Provincial Championships in 2014, she reset four Canadian
age-group records. The most impressive was her victory in 50m freestyle which broke the Canadian
age-group record of 26.34 that has been standing since 1985. Kayla went below
that at 26.29 secs.
Sanchez continued to swim for the High Performance
Centre–Ontario under the tutelage of Ben Titley, Canada’s Olympic swim coach. She
was swimming superbly, in disciplines that included freestyle, backstroke,
individual medley and the relays. In July 2017, she was part of the Canadian
swim that went to World Aquatics Championship in Budapest, where they placed 4th.
She had just turned 16.
A month later, the 6th FINA World Junior Swimming
Championships unfolded in Indianapolis, and once again, Canada was ably
represented in the 4 x 200 meter freestyle relay by its women’s team led by Rio
Olympic gold medalist Penny Oleksiak, Rebecca Smith, Taylor Ruck and Kayla
Sanchez. The team not only scooped up the Gold Medal, but established a new
World Junior Record of 7:51.47, almost six
seconds ahead of Russia and faster than any team of teenagers in history.
Just as 2018 was about to end, at the North York Aquatic
Cup held in Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre , the teenage sensation broke the
short course 50 meter freestyle World Junior Record with a blistering time of
23. 94 seconds. The previous record of 24.00 secs. was achieved by Menghui Zhu
of China (Japanese swimmer Rikako Ikee finished 23.95 seconds in 2017, but this
has not been ratified, and even if it were, Kayla's time is still one one hundredth of a second
faster).
With her clocking, Kayla swam the 5th
fastest 50 freestyle in the world this 2018, behind the fastest women sprinters in the
pool, topped by Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom’s 23.21 seconds. This, she accomplished while still a junior age swimmer. As if this was not incredible enough, Kayla returned later and swam the preliminary 100m backstroke in 58.2 secs.,
the only one to swim the distance under 1 minute.
As she is poised to enter her college years, where she is
ranked #1 in college recruiting class 2019, Kayla has been receiving overtures
from the best colleges and universities in the USA, dangling scholarship offers
for her to be on on their NCAA team. Her parents have taught her the permanent
value of education and so, even while she was swimming, she continues to do
well in school. She graduated elementary
as a class valedictorian.
Her parents are hoping in the future that Kayla will be
able to swim for the Philippines. But at the moment, an official in the Philippines National Team
put it this way, “whatever flag she represent, for me she’s always be a
Filipino by heart.”
