Tracy Van Asseldonk rowed to a pair of golds at the Cascade Masters.
Delta Deas Rowing Club’s Tracy Van Asseldonk brought home two gold medals at last month’s Cascade Masters Championship at Burnaby Lake.
In an impressive performance, Van Asseldonk won both of the regatta’s Single Para events by a wide margin.
 Para rowing, also known as adaptive rowing, can suit a wide range of disabilities to allow both muscular strengthening and cardiovascular fitness.
 Van Asseldonk wasn’t the only Delta Deas rower to bring home the gold. The club had a total of seven golds, as well as six silvers and four bronze.
Of particular note was the performance of two Ladner rowers, Chris Garrett and Mick Bates. 
Garrett won a medal in all five of the races he entered and Bates was on the podium in all four of his events. All in all, it was a fabulous weekend for DDRC rowers who continue to keep Delta on the rowing map.
