Shasta’s Declan McLean jetted to Colombia this week to compete for Canada at the 2018 Pacific Rim championships.
The junior trampoline athlete, a member of the New Westminster-based Shasta
Club, was among 31 people selected, including coaches and judges, to represent Canada at the international competition.
A student at Byrne Creek Secondary, McLean has worn the Maple Leaf before, competing for Canada as a 13-year-old at the 2015 world age group competition in Denmark and the 2016 Indo-Pacific gymnastic championships.
At last year’s Canadian trampoline and tumbling championships, McLean finished third in the junior men’s division.
