Scotties bronze medalists Team Kate Cameron are reloading as they continue their quest for an Olympic berth.

New Bothwell’s Cameron needed to adjust her team after third Meghan Walter announced she was stepping away from curling to focus on studies.

“Meghan has played such a vital role on our team this past season, in accomplishing so many of our goals,” the team shared on Twitter in early April.

“Kate, Taylor (McDonald) and Mackenzie (Elias) will miss her young, energetic fierce and humorous personality out on the ice. We wish Meghan the absolute best, and cannot wait to support this new journey she will begin.”

Where one scholar leaves, another will join, with the team picking up Brianna Cullen.

Cullen has already had an outstanding curling career, playing at the collegiate level for the University of Alberta. She’s won the Canadian University Championships twice, in addition to a provincial junior championship.

The move to team Cameron will be a homecoming of sorts for Cullen, who hails from Swan River, Man., but curled for the University of Alberta.

With the addition, McDonald, who had been playing third on the team will move to third, with Cullen set to play second this season.
