Biografia

A swimmer since the age of eight, Keltie Duggan made the Canadian national team in 1987 and wasted no time proving her worth, winning gold in the 100 metres breaststroke and silver in the 4x100 metre medley relay (alongside Cheryl McArton and the non-Olympians Robin Ruggiero and Manon Simard) at the Pan American Games. She was selected for the 1988 Olympic team, but only managed a 10th place finish in the 100 m. She did, however, win a bronze medal in the 4x100 metre medley relay with the assistance of Allison Higson, Jane Kerr, Lori Melien, Patricia Noall, and Andrea Nugent. She was back in form at the 1989 Pan Pacific Championships, taking gold in the 100 m, and followed this up with another gold medal in the event at the 1990 Commonwealth Games, where she also won a bronze medal in the 4x100 m relay alongside Melien, Noall, and Nancy Sweetnam. After the Commonwealth Games she was hampered by knee surgery, although she made the finals of the 100 m at the 1991 World Championships and remained a member of the national team until her 1993 retirement. After graduating from the University of Alberta, she spent two years coaching at the University of Calgary before joining the institution’s medical school in 1996. She graduated in 2000 and now works as a physician. Among her many distinctions were being named the University of Alberta’s Female and Swimming Canada’s Athletes of the Year in 1990 and holding the Canadian national record in the 50 m breaststroke from 1990 through 2008.
