A Pembroke runner is hot on the heels of Eganville Olympian Melissa Bishop-Nriagu. Madeleine Kelly inched by Bishop-Nriagu and took the gold in the Women’s 800 metre at the Canadian Championships this past weekend, with a time of 2:02.37 seconds. Bishop-Nriagu came in second with a finish of 2:02.40 in her third 800m race of the season. Kelly expressed gratitude to Bishop-Nriagu, who she said she has looked up to for as long as she’s been running.
