The following article was published in a local Toronto paper regarding Kendra and Nichelle Prince, the daughters of KC Old Boy and former KCOBA (Toronto) Board Member, Fabian Prince. Like their father who represented KC at Champs in 1976 and 1978 (Class 3 and 2 relay teams respectively) the Prince girls are budding track stars and are among the best in their age group in Ontario.

AJAX -- Chocolate's fine, but two Ajax sisters have gold in mind at the upcoming annual Hershey's Track and Field Games North American Final Meet in Hershey, Pa.
Kendra and Nichelle Prince, both members of the Bramalea Bullets Track and Field Club, are competing in the 4-x-100-metre relay races in their respective age groups at the international youth meet on Aug. 5
Kendra, the third Prince sister to compete in Hershey, will run the first leg of the 9-10 girls' relay race with teammates Aurea Gordon, Kyanne Small and Jadyn Skeen. The team qualified by winning the Ontario qualifying meet in Oshawa last month in a time of 1:02.
Meanwhile, Nichelle is making her third trip to Hershey. She won gold last year in the 100 metres in the 9-10 age group and captured silver in the 4-x-100m relay in the same age group in 2004.
This year, Nichelle has qualified to represent Region 1 in the 4-x-100m relay with teammates Athena Wisdom, Nikki Allison and Khadijah Thompson. The team won the qualifying meet in a time of 53.73 seconds. This relay team is the same team that represented Region 1 and captured silver in 2004.
So far this track and field season, Nichelle has produced some excellent times, establishing provincial records in the 50m (7.43), 60m (8.56), and 200m (27.93) for the 9-10 age group. She moved up in age group to 11-12 in January and still continued to produced excellent times. In the Minor Track Association championship in March she established a record for the 200m (27.01).
This outdoor season Nichelle ran the 100m in 12.65 seconds and the 200m in 26.40, both provincial records. Nichelle's times in the 200m this season (indoor and outdoor) have been as fast or faster than the girls in the 13-14 age group.
