Top junior triathletes Kris Hedges and Jon Herring are to enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to a training camp in Cancun, Mexico at the beginning
The camp runs for the first ten days of the month and will be followed by an actual triathlon in which both Bermuda youngsters will compete.
The camp has been targeted at smaller nations who have an eye on competing in the triathlon at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
A story in Tuesday's Gazette about young triathletes taking part in this Saturday's Chicago Ironkids event omitted the names of three youngsters who will compete in the 7-8 age division -- Adam Petty, Simon Morrison and Sebastian Ball. Hedges, meanwhile, will join Herring and Khomeini Talbot for Sunday's Sprint Triathlon in Chicago.

Spurling said that she had, in fact, been forced to return to Bermuda in order to tend to "personal matters'' and was not injured. She added that she was due to fly back to Canada and rejoin fellow Bermudian Elizabeth Walker yesterday.
