With the world championships in Tokyo just a month away, some of Canada's top track and field athletes will be competing in one of two international meets over the next few days. Here's a look at them:
Indoor shot put world champion Sarah Mitton and a strong contingent of sprinters will lead a team of 30 Canadians at the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) championships in the Bahamas from Friday through Sunday.
For some athletes, this meet will serve as a tune-up for the world championships. For others, it's their final chance to hit the automatic qualifying standard or to improve their spot in the world rankings, which is another way to get into the worlds.
The Canadian squad includes 17 Olympians and 19 athletes who have competed at the world championships. Headlin
