A wide open Boys 17 – 19 flight includes Ben Glynn, 18, of Brockville, Ont.  Glynn has one win to his credit in 2007 and has not finished lower than 2nd in four previous events.  Steven Curtis, 18, of Mississauga and Mikhail Ziskos, 17, of Toronto should also do well.

Julia DiGiovanni, 14, of Mississauga and Emily Mau, 16, of Thornhill will battle it out for the Girls Division title.  Royal Woodbine should prove to be a tough test for the two competitors.
