Kelsey Serwa’s Olympic dream is right on schedule.

The 20-year-old from Kelowna was named Sunday to Canada’s 18-member freestyle ski team for the 2010 Winter Games next month in Vancouver and Whistler.

Serwa left little doubt about her inclusion on the national squad as she captured the gold medal at a World Cup ski cross event on Sunday in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Serwa is joined on the Canadian women’s ski cross team by Ashleigh McIvor and Julia Murray of Whistler, and Danielle Poleschuk of Winnipeg.

Serwa made the grade thanks to being in the top four in the overall World Cup ski cross standings.

She also won gold earlier this month in France, however poor weather forced organizers to cancel the race before the finals.

The Kelowna product and former Big White skier made the switch from the alpine discipline to ski cross in the spring of 2008 and had almost immediate success.

She finished third overall in the 2008-09 World Cup standings in her rookie season, then followed up by winning the 2009 Canadian ski cross championship at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.

The Canadian freestyle team features one other Kelowna resident, Steve Omischl who will compete in aerials at the 2010 Games.
