Akeem Haynes Wins Gold Medal for 100 metres!



Akeem Haynes, a sprinter who trains at Talisman Centre, won the gold medal in 100 metres at the Canada Summer Games last Monday (August 24th, 2009). A member of Calgary International Track Club, Akeem set a new Alberta youth record with his time of 10.47 seconds. That time is also the 6th fastest time the 100m has been run by a youth in 2009.

Akeem holds several other youth records, including the Canadian record for 200 metres. He's starting grade 12 this fall.

Akeem's coach is John Cannon, and the Canada Summer Games were held in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Talisman Centre is proud of Akeem, and adds its congratulations to him, and the entire team representing Alberta!
