When the 2014 Youth Track and Field Championships begin Yo.ca will be there - and so will Arielle Tessier.

Tessier, a fifteen-year-old from Maple, has had an extraordinary season. During the Royal Canadian Legion trials in Ontario (July 11 and 12) she captured gold finishes in both the 100 metre and 200 metre sprints. This feat was repeated soon after at the 2014 Ontario Federation of School Athletics Provincial Championships, where Tessier snagged double medals in track and OFSAA recognition.

Metro Regional Midget Girls Champion and CISAA Midget Girls Champion titles soon followed, branding Tessier as one of the most decorated athletes of the year. 

And now she has been chosen to join the prestigious RCL Team Ontario, lending her record-breaking speeds and indomitable spirit to the 2014 Legion Nationals.

Yo.ca can’t wait to see what Tessier will accomplish on the track!
