South Surrey softball player Sara Groenewegen was tasked with more than just competing at Western Canada Summer Games this week – she was also chosen by Team BC to read the athlete’s oath.
Groenewegen, a national fastpitch champion with the White Rock Renegades and also a former athlete of the year at Elgin Park Secondary, read the pledge aloud during opening ceremonies Saturday.
In addition to Groenewegen, Surrey volleyball player Nick Del Bianco carried the British Columbia flag during the opening ceremonies.
