Announcing Streamline Athletes’ high performance track and field ambassadors

Every single track and field or cross country student-athlete who pursues the sport at the collegiate level has their own unique journey.

That’s why we started Streamline Athletes: to help every high school runner, jumper, and thrower define their journey - and to do it with confidence.

It’s also why we’ve partnered with five high performance Canadian track and field athletes to showcase their stories from getting started in the sport, climbing the collegiate ranks, to the international stage. With the 2021 Streamline Athletes ambassador program, Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Alysha Newman, Justyn Knight, and Ben Flanagan will have a platform to share their stories and offer their advice to the next generation of track and field talent.

Each ambassador will be collaborating with Streamline Athletes on initiatives to engage with youth runners, jumpers, and throwers. Throughout the year, track fans can expect to find content across the ambassadors’ and Streamline Athletes’ social media channels, on our blog, and in other virtual formats as well. It’s our hope that the paths taken by some of the world’s most elite athletes inspire more younger athletes to pursue higher education and sport beyond high school.
