Robbie Elmhirst started running races when he was in Grade 3 and gradually improved his results each year.
At the end of grade 7 he joined the Newmarket Huskies AAA track club. They focus on long distance runners
and Robbie's success can be attributed to the excellent coaching he has received with the club. Attending Bill
Crothers Secondary School has also helped him focus on his sport as well as keep up with his academics.
This year has been his most successful season thus far. Robbie's times in the 1200m and 2000m races qualified
him for nationals in Ottawa this past summer.
During this cross-country season he came first in the Sacred Heart Invitational Race, first in York Region's
Cross Country finals and achieved gold at OFSAA in Etobicoke on November 6. Robbie's succes this season
has qualified him for Athletic Canada's National Cross-Country race on November 28 in Guelph. Although
this is a junior race and Robbie will be running against men 18 and under he is looking forward to the
experience.
(As we have gone to press before November 28, we will Robbie the best of luck in Guelph). Hopefully we will
have the results in our next issue!
