BREAKING: Martin Misses Standard, Qualifies For Final

It's down to one more race for Jenna Martin to get an Olympic 'A' standard time. The Bridgewater native missed the time in Thursday night's semi-final heat at the Canadian Track and Field Championships. She won her heat with a time of 52.25 seconds but needs 51.55 in her pursuit of the Olympic games.  After the race, Martin remained optimistic it will happen.



Martin says she learned a lot about herself after Thursday night's race and is ready to give it everything she's got in the final.



The 24-year-old qualified for Friday night's 400 metre women's final, giving her a chance to repeat as Canadian champion.
