Madelyn Goulding, a student at Port Colborne High School in Port Colborne, Ontario, has capped a strong 2026 track and field season by competing at the provincial championships. Goulding represented her school in shot put and discus at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) meet, the highest level of high school sport in the province.
Goulding’s path to OFSAA started at the Zone Championships, where she won first place in shot put and second in discus. At the next step, the Southern Ontario Secondary Schools Association (SOSSA) regional meet, she earned silver medals in both events. These results qualified her for the provincial championship held June 4 to 6, 2026 at the Niagara Olympic Club in St. Catharines.
In a June 22, 2026 Athlete of the Month feature on the school’s website, the school praised her commitment and consistency. Goulding is no stranger to success: she was named co-Most Valuable Player of the school’s track and field program in both 2024 and 2025, an honour she shared with Owen Robins. Robins, now an alumnus, won OFSAA gold in senior boys’ shot put and discus in 2024, showing that Port Colborne High School has become a place where throwers excel.
The season’s results show that Goulding is following in that tradition while making her own mark. For local families, her journey from early-season meets all the way to the provincial stage is a sign of the athletic talent growing right here in Port Colborne.
