Pembroke's Madeleine Kelly to race alongside local idol in Tokyo

 
PEMBROKE, ONT. --
The Ottawa Valley is set to have two athletes compete in the same event this summer at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Pembroke’s Madeleine Kelly is heading to the games for the first time and is set to compete in the 800 metre race.
"I wouldn’t say until about two years ago did I start to think that I could be this calibre of a runner," says the 25-year-old Olympian.
Kelly says she found out she made the team via Twitter while she was making breakfast one morning.
"More than anything the overwhelming feeling was relief. The qualifying period had been over for about five days so there was nothing I could do anymore."
