OTTAWA- Athletics
Canada announced today the athletes that will travel to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad
for the 2012 North America, Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Cross Country
Championships to be held Saturday March 17.
Port-of-Spain was good to the squad which competed at last year’s
edition with the junior men and women taking gold and the senior men and women
winning silver. 2012 returnees Cameron
Levins (senior men) and Maria Bernard (junior women) won silver and bronze
respectively.
Thelma Wright, Head
Coach of the NACAC Cross Country team has a clear objective for her squad. “The goal is to win the team competition in
Trindad and it is attainable. We will be
led by two-time national champion and 2011 NACAC runner up Cameron Levins.” Wright is hopeful the junior squad will
benefit from a great experience. “The
juniors have their sights set on the World Junior championship later this
summer, having seniors and juniors together on this team will develop a
great sense of national team spirit, displaying the value of training and
working together for common goals.”
