Grace Pinch of the Acadia women's rugby team has been named a finalist in the Canadian Olympic Committee's annual, cross-country talent search: RBC Training Ground.

Over the past several months more than 4,000 athletes from a wide range of sports participated, performing core speed, strength, power, and endurance tests for review by talent scouts from eight different Olympic sports. The top 100 deemed to have great Olympic potential, including Pinch, will now compete in the RBC Training Ground national final, with the chance of being one of 30 athletes to earn funding and an accelerated path to the Olympics.
