When the High School Curling Provincial Championships kick-off on February 22 at the Winkler Curling Club, Dauphin's Emma Jensen and her curling team will be there.
Skip- Emma Jensen, third- Makenna Hadway, second- Savanna Mansell, lead- Jennifer Yaschyshyn, and alternate- Lane Prokopowich, qualified for the Provincials at the Zone 8 Championships this past weekend.
"It's a great feeling," said Jensen. "We didn't really expect to win because this is a new team. We just kind of put this together for fun, to see how it would go, and it went well. It's a really good feeling, and we can't wait for the provincials."
16 women's teams from around the province will compete at the tournament, all of which compete in a pools format.
"We're hoping to win a few games," said Jensen. "We don't really know the competition out there. We'll get a feeling of the ice and, hopefully, we can play our best the whole weekend."
This will be Emma's second time at high school provincials.
"Last year I played with my sister, and I was lead," said Jensen. "This year I'm skipping, so, I think it's a great experience to play a different position at the Championships."
The Championships will also be played at the Morden Curling Club.
