With Adam’s talent, work ethic and with the support of ASDC-Central, and his school and sport coaches, Adam will surely continue to grow and improve as an athlete in his sport of baseball.

As the weather turns, Hailey switches gears to train and compete with the Red Deer Titans Track club (under the direction of coach Ron Hewer) as a pentathlete (80m Hurdles, High Jump, Shot Put, Long Jump and the 800m run) and in the 100m sprint and the relays.
