Below are the Kajaks athletes’ results:
• Levi Turra, U18 high jump (first place)
• Lawrence Man, U16 hammer throw (first place)

• Chase Longley, U16 hammer throw (fourth place) and U16 discus (sixth place)
Turner also set four legion records in the decathlon 100m, long jump, pole vault, and discus. He was chosen to take the Athletes’ Oath in the opening ceremonies.
The Legion championships have been coordinated by the Royal Canadian Legion and thousands of volunteers for the past 43 years. The event is funded by the Legion and its partners, and aims to give young Canadians a chance to compete against the best, develop confidence, and better understand the diversity of other sports-minded youth across Canada.
