The next generation of Olympians may well be on the horizon.
Sarah Loehr and Kaylee Bernhard of Muenster are heading to Royal Canadian Legion Track and Field Nationals in Calgary.
They were selected for Team Saskatchewan after participating at the Saskatchewan Legion Track and Field Camp in early July. They, and some other area athletes, were sponsored to attend the initial camp by the local Humboldt Legion branch.
Sarah and Kaylee recently represented Prairie Central Zone at the Saskatchewan Summer Games in Lloydminster. Their top finishes were Sarah winning bronze in javelin and Kaylee finishing 4th in the 300m hurdles. It was an impressive accomplishment given that they were competing against U18 athletes across the province after recently wrapping up grade 9 and grade 8 respectively.
