This weekend, 17 of our athletes made their team and club proud at the 24U national team selection camp, representing a quarter of the athletes invited to attend the camp. For most, this was their first national team selection process and they all performed amazingly and most importantly learned and improved so much over the last three days. 10 hours of paddling and 4 tests later, they go home having pushed themselves to the limit, fighting for themselves and having made True Grit proud.
Great job this weekend and thank you for carrying on the True Grit legacy Nancy, Ella, Bryana, Mandy, Souang, Alex, Eric, Eugene, Geoffrey, Liam, Mathieu, Michael, Nicolas, Orlando, Ruo Chen, Shung-Kwoon, and Jia Xing.
This picture was taken in front of a wall on which many previous True Grit paddlers signed their names during previous national team camps. The legacy lives on.
Special shout out to recent alumni Carmen who was also at the camp as one of the 24U national team assistant coaches. Another recent alumni in this picture is Bernadette, one of this cycle’s junior national team assistant coaches.
Also in the picture is Wei, from our neighbouring club , completing the Montreal delegation of the camp.
