Kyelann Elliott will have a great story to tell in September when she enters her first year of high school. The 13-year old is heading on a once in a lifetime trip as an athlete at the International Children's Games in Estonia.

"I'm excited for the new opportunity to go to a new country and meeting new people." Elliott told Powerplay Sports at a recent practice with the Border City Athletics Club. She'll compete in the 100m, 100 hurdles and a relay. Elliott has ramped up her training in the days leading up to the games, which begin August 4th, and hopes to place well. "I would be super proud, let's say I came top-3. That would be like a huge moment for me. I'll probably cry."
