Portage la Prairie athlete Chanel Cabak will be competing for Team Manitoba this weekend at the Tri-Provincial Track-and-Field Challenge. The competition involves athletes from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta and Manitoba is hosting this year.  

The 13-year-old was pretty excited when she got the call saying she made the Provincial team after qualifying based on her performances at the Manitoba Age Class Championships at the end of June.

"The past couple of weeks have been really fun getting to know my teammates and training with Athletics Manitoba coaches," says Cabak. "I'm looking forward to competing in the 200m, 80m hurdles, triple jump, and relay events."  

It's been a tough couple of months of training for Cabak with track and field, and skating filling her calendar. Find more info about the tournamnet here.
