National Team Trials - Ottawa

National Team Trials was a great event put on by the Ottawa River Runners. For the first time since 2000 the Pumphouse was able to host a National event, and the new and improved site is impressive.

Alberta paddlers represented their province impressively. A big Thank You to Toby & Karen for helping out with the coaching and logistics.

Congratulations to all the athletes who made their respective National Team.

Jessica Groeneveld & Ben Hayward paddled confidently onto the Senior National Team showing continued success from the Innisfail and Edmonton Clubs.

Graham Jobe, Marissa Dederer & Hayden Daniels showed fine form in qualifying for the Junior National Team. The Calgary atheles saw their hard work pay off.

Paul Manning-Hunter and Thomas & Daniel Purcell qualifed for the Senior Development Team in fine form while their junior counterparts AJ Cole & Jesse Gilles made the Junior B-Team.
