THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR
Perhaps it is because they got a running start on competition or maybe it's their desire to compete.
Whatever the reason, Chelsea Mackinnon and the Forbes twins, Austen and Taylor, are the future of high school track right now.
Chelsea, 14, a Grade 9 student at Westdale, is the city's best in the midget girls' 800m and 1500m.
Austen Forbes, 14, a Grade 9 student at Highland, is the best around in the midget boys' 800m. He's right there with twin brother Taylor in the 1500m, but Taylor owns the gruelling 3000m title.
The three runners have much more in common than just age.
They all started in track early.
