OTTAWA - Athletics Canada added five more athletes to its already sizable Olympic team on Thursday. Tremaine Harris (200 metres), Daundre Barnaby (400 metres), Aaron Brown (200 metres), Kerri-Ann Mitchell (100 metres) and Sheila Reid (5,000 metres) successfully appealed for inclusion and will bring Canadas London-bound track and field contingent to 45 — the largest team Canada as sent to a Games since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Harris, Brown, Mitchell and Reid appealed for "rising star" consideration for athletes who finished among the top three at the 2012 Olympic Trials, achieved two "B" standards between April 1 and June 30 and have not been on an Olympic or world championship team prior to 2011. Barnaby, from Brampton, Ont., was on Athletics Canadas original nomination list but had to acquire his Canadian passport before he could be officially included. Harris, from Markham, Ont., was nominated to the team under the "truly exceptional circumstances" clause. The 20-year-old sprinter was initially left off the team despite dominating the event at the Canadian track and field Olympic trials. Brown appealed for "rising star" consideration in light of a minor injury that kept him from running at full capacity in the 100-metres at the trials, and forced him to scratch from the 200 metres. He was nominated pending the results of a readiness test, consisting of a 200-metre race in Ottawa at the Ontario senior track and field championships this weekend. Mitchell, from Pickering, Ont., was added to the team as a result of Phylicia George opting out of the 100 metres in London to concentrate on the 100-metre hurdles. Reid, from Newmarket, Ont., won the 5,000-metres at the Canadian trials and has an Olympic "B" standard in the event. She was nominated pending a competitive readiness test, which she successfully completed earlier this week. Wholesale Jerseys China .
