Rebecca Makes National Hockey Team

Congratulations to Rebecca Johnston. Less than a month after almost making Canada's national team for the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Beijing (she missed by only 2/10s of a second), Rebecca has cracked the National Under-22 HOCKEY team. Only 16 years old, Rebecca is the youngest member of the team by more than a year.
