KINKORA – Hard work keyed a strong showing in track and field by Shaelynn McCardle.
The Grade 9 student has been selected as the Greco Pizza/Capt. Sub student-athlete of the month at Kinkora Regional High School after finishing first in the discus, first in the 100 metres and second in the long jump at the Zone 2 intermediate meet recently. Shaelynn went on to compete in the P.E.I. School Athletic Association provincial track and field meet at UPEI last weekend, where she finished fourth in discus, fifth in the 100 metres and sixth in long jump in the Intermediate Division.
“She trained hard in the weeks leading up to the Zone 2 meet,” said KRHS track and field coach Norah Pendergast. “Great work Shaelynn!”
