Noonan No Stranger To Medals

Erica Noonan's bronze this afternoon is not the first medal she's seen.

Hailing from Stephenville and currently a 2nd year MUN student swimming with the MUN swim team, Erica is a three-time 2009 Canada Games silver medalist. She won silver for women's SWAD (swimmer with a disability) in the 100-metre breaststroke, the 100-metre butterfly and the 200-metre individual medley.

Noonan was Team Newfoundland and Labrador's flagbearer for the closing ceremonies at the Canada Summer Games in PEI last August and was also selected to represent Newfoundland and Labrador as the province's official torchbearer during the 2010 Paralympic Torch Relay in Ottawa.
