Jessie Buck, who is going into Grade 10 at Orillia Secondary School, was selected for Team Ontario for the Youth Legion National Track and Field Championships held at Cape Breton University Aug. 8-11.
Buck placed first in U16 girls discus with a throw of 42.34 metres. Second place was more than seven metres behind, with 35.08 metres.
This was an improvement for Buck of more than eight metres from OFSAA in June, when she came second in discus among her peers from Ontario high schools.
She also threw a personal best in hammer at nationals to place fourth.
