Bridgewater's McIntosh Awarded $5,000 Scholarship


One of the South Shore's Summer Olympic hopefuls for 2016 is getting some financial help. Bridgewater's Rachael McIntosh is a student at the University of Calgary and is training for the heptathlon event in Rio De Janeiro. The 21-year-old visual arts student has received a $5,000 scholarship. McIntosh says the money will help alleviate some the pressure.



McIntosh is one of three Olympic hopefuls to receive the award. Recipients for the scholarship are chosen based on academic and athletic achievements.
