NEO-JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Neo-Junior Short Track Speed Skating National Championships were held in Calgary from Friday, November 10 to Sunday, November 12. The event for the top 60 14 and 15-year-olds in the country featured two 1,500-metre races, three 500-metre races and three 1,000-metre races.

Gavin Ogilvie represented Lethbridge at the event. Following a slow start, Ogilvie improved as the competition went on. He finished 19^th in the 1,500-metre event, 12^th in the 500-metre event and sixth in the 1,000 metre event. Ogilvie ranked 14^th overall and fourth among C2 skaters aged 14-years-old.

The three local athletes will not get a break for the holidays, using that time to train for competitions coming in the new year.
