Local athlete to compete at Ontario Summer Games

To The Haldimand Press

CAYUGA—Although not the only local taking part, 14-year-old Abby Martin may be the busiest athlete in the track and field portion of the upcoming Ontario Summer Games to be held in Mississauga July 22-24, 2022.

Although a member of Athletiques International Track and Field Club in Cayuga, she won’t be wearing the banner of the local club during the games. Like all of the Under-16 competitors selected, she was named to one of four teams that make up the athletics competition. Martin, representing the “White” team, has been slated by the team coaches to contest six individual events, plus possibly two relays, over the three-day event. The other three teams are denoted as “Red”, “Black”, and “Gray”, and attempts were made to make the teams as equal as possible by distributing the event talent amongst the four teams.
