Athletics Canada has named their team for the 2015 Panamerican Junior Championships. The 63 eighteen and nineteen year olds will compete from July 31 to August 2 in Edmonton. Head Coach Les Gramantik says the Pan Am Junior Championships are an excellent opportunity for young upcoming athletes. Competing at home against the best from the Pan Am region in this age group should elevate their performances and provide them with an excellent learning opportunity. Kemptville’s Matt Bedard is competing in the 400 metre hurdle.  At the end of the last edition of the Pan Am Jrs, Canada ranked second overall in the medal count.
