CHEK
19 year old Campbell River product Avalon Wastenays was recently crowned as the RBC Training Ground BC winner – topping over 100 of the best young athletes the province has to offer. Growing up as a cross country skier – Wastenays is now a second year Uvic student on the varsity rowing team – an impressive feat being that Avalon has only been rowing for just over a calendar year. Avalon hopes to one day represent Canada on the international stage – but she knows that the process isn’t quick.
