Congratulations to LVSC swimmer Clara Tsang who qualified and was chosen to represent the Kearns waterpolo team at the Junior Olympics in July!

Clara was also accepted into the Las Vegas Young Artist Symphony Orchestra as the youngest member in history and was able to record an album with them that was recently released on Apple Music. Amazing job Clara!
