15 year old boxer Jerid Clarke will be representing Saskatchewan once again at the Junior and Youth Canadian National Championships.

Clarke recieved special permission to box in the event last year as an underage athlete and feels the experience of taking part in 2011 will pay dividends.

"I feel a lot better this year and feel in better shape knowing what to expect, so feeling pretty good about it this year," Clarke says.

Clarke will be boxing in the junior category and is very grateful for the support he has recieved from his coach Rob Hattum, his father Brett Clarke, as well as the late Earl Monkman who Clarke says was "always there for him."

The 2012 Junior and Youth National Championships will take place in St Hyacinthe, Quebec beginning tomorrow until March 3rd.
