Moncton, CanadaFollowing the conclusion of the Canadian World Junior Trials, Athletics Canada announced the 59-member team that will represent Canada at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships, July 19-25, in Moncton, Canada.
“It is a real pleasure to be here this morning to assist our friends at Athletics Canada in announcing the team that will represent us in just 14 days at the IAAF World Junior Championships,” said Larry Neslon, Chair of the Moncton 2010 organizing committee. Nelson adds, “This was also a test drive of our amazing new stadium, our volunteer network, and our processes and systems. I am pleased to announce that all passed with flying colours. The weekend has reassured me and the team that we are ready for the world to come to Moncton.”
The trials were the first event to be held at the brand new stadium giving the Canadian athletes an edge when they return for the Worlds in two short weeks.
A number of athletes turned in outstanding performances over the course of the Junior Trials. Caleb Jones set a new Canadian Junior Championship record in the men’s javelin with a heave of 69.68m. The mark surpasses the record of 68.82m which was held by Scott Russell; Russell’s career has included two World Championships and one Olympic Games appearance. In the women’s 400m Katie Reid set a new championship record of 53.47 surpassing Jillian Richardson’s record which stood at 53.60. In the men’s 400m Alistair Moona broke Bryan Barnett’s championship record of 46.55. Moona, who was in a class of his own set the new standard at 46.54.
The team objectives include selecting the most competitive athletes 19 and under who are prepared to achieve seasonal best performances at the championships and to provide a positive international competitive experience for first year and returning national team athletes. The overriding objective is to prepare athletes for future success within Athletics Canada’s High Performance program, ensuring they are on the right path for the Olympic Games in 2012 (London) and 2016 (Rio de Janeiro).
