Two Langley teenagers have been chosen to compete for Canada on the world stage.
Megan Champoux and Dean Ellenwood are among the athletes announced by Athletics Canada on Friday (June 26) who will represent Canada at the 2015 world youth championships.
The track and field competition runs July 15 to 19 in Cali, Colombia.
Champoux, who will run in the women's 400m hurdles and Ellenwood in the men's 800m race, are members of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club.
Champoux, 15, is coached by Jarid Vaughan while the 17-year-old Ellenwood is coached by Dwayne Lotnick.
The pair both medalled at the B.C. high school track and field championships in early June with Champoux winning gold in the senior girls 400m race and bronze in the 100m event, while Ellenwood won silver in the senior boys 800m and bronze in the 400m.
