Long-time Carleton Athletics faithful, student, employee and patron, Melanie McCann is headed to the Olympics to compete for Canada in Rio.
“It is with great pride that I get to tell you I am going to my second Olympic Games!!
To secure this qualification, it has been a battle through and through, but I couldn’t be more thrilled to represent team Canada in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this August. From setbacks to comeback, it has taken all my strength to fight it out on the international circuit against the best athletes in the world. I am so proud to have earned my spot on the world’s biggest stage again under those Olympic rings.
The unwavering support of my coaches, training partners, family and friends have pushed me through the ups and downs and helped me to achieve my goals. I am still letting it sink in, but I am busy preparing for the big day in 2 short months.
Rio here I come….”
