Val Sweeting, Jocelyn Peterman and Krysten Karwacki have been named second-team all-stars for their play at the national women’s curling championship in Thunder Bay, Ont.

It’s the third time Sweeting, who throws third for Kerri Einarson, has received the honour. She was named a first-team all-star in 2020 and 2021 en route to consecutive titles for Team Einarson and has added to her resume after throwing at an 88 per cent efficiency during round-robin play.

Peterman, the second for Kaitlyn Lawes, was named a second-team all-star in 2021. She curled at an 84 per cent clip over eight games.

It’s the second year in a row that Karwacki has received the nod. Karwacki, who plays lead for Einarson, was named a first-team all-star last year after being called out of her role as the alternate to replace Briane Harris on the eve of the tournament. Karwacki has thrown at a 90 per cent efficiency in her return.

First team: Skip, Rachel Homan (Team Canada); third, Tracy Fleury (Team Canada); second, Sarah Koltun (British Columbia); lead, Samantha Fisher (British Columbia).

Second team: Skip, Laurie St-Georges (Quebec); third, Val Sweeting, (Manitoba-Einarson); second, Jocelyn Peterman (Manitoba-Lawes); lead, Krysten Karwacki (Manitoba-Einarson).
