Athletes who receive the awards must be registered to compete for the Canada Games. Molly is on the Team BC cross country ski team and is competing this week.
Her first race was a tough one, as mother Kim Windsor Miller reports that Molly was feeling under the weather and fought for every second of a 7th place finish.
