Edna Spang

GIBSONIA — Winning is more than something Edna Spang has grown accustomed to doing.

She practically expects it.

Spang, 49, of Gibsonia, is the manager of the Adams Ridge Community Pool in Mars. She also serves as an instructor of water safety for the American Red Cross.

“I’m in the water quite a bit,” she said.

She excels while she’s there.

Spang recently returned from Dubuque, Iowa, where she competed in the USCA Canoe and Kayak National Championships. She came home with two gold medals and one silver.

Spang won the overall women’s title in the Sea Kayak and Women’s Stand-Up Paddleboard and placed second in the Women’s K 1 Racing Kayak. All three events were marathon distance.

A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
