Two alumni of the ACE program are preparing to compete in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. Maddy Price (ACE in Vietnam ’17) will represent Canada in the 4x400m relay, while Taylor Ruck (ACE in Place Thailand ’22) is set to compete in the 50m Freestyle also for Canada.
In addition, Jillian Wolgemuth (ACE in Vietnam ’18), who has been playing on the American National Field Hockey Team and helped the USA qualify for the Paris Olympics, was set to also compete, but suffered an injury weeks before the Olympics and will be unable to participate.
Their participation in the Olympics continues to represent the values of ACE, including cross-cultural exchange and connecting with others through sport, on the global stage.
