Four days. That’s how long Jessica Frotten has to wait to find out if she’s done enough to make the Canadian Paralympic team.

The 28-year-old has jumped through all the hoops set out by Athletics Canada, but with only 11 female spots open on the 22-athlete team, it’ll be a tight race to see who dons the maple leaf in September.

“It’s a very small team. It’s the smallest,” said Frotten from her home in Regina this morning. “It’s been really hard to make.”

Last season Frotten, who races in the T53 category (compromised core), flew onto the international circuit, capturing two bronze medals at the Para Pan American Games in Toronto.

This season, the wheelchair racer who trains with the Saskatoon Cyclones, has travelled all over the world in pursuit of the A-standard and B-standard times that will help propel her onto the Paralympic team.

In the qualification document set out by Athletics Canada, there are four criteria steps that staff will use when deciding on the team. First, did the athlete have multiple A-standard times in a single event within the qualifying period (Jan. 1, 2016 to Jul 24.)If not, then, have they had one A-standard. Third, have they had multiple B-standard times in an event.

And finally, have they had one B-standard time.

Then, athletes are “nominated in priority order within each step.” Athletics Canada uses a points table which scores the athlete in an event based on how far off percentage of the world record time you are. Frotten’s best this season was 888, Athletics Canada wants a 900.

But, as Frotten points out, not many have that 900-point score.

Frotten has consistently been hitting the A-standard in the 100-metre, her best event. She also has hit the B-standard numerous times in both the 400 and 800, which are the other two events she would compete in.

After fighting a bout of tendonitis in her shoulder at the national championships in Edmonton two weeks ago – Frotten still picked up four medals – she opted to go to a meet in Quebec City to she if she could hit that A-standard one last time.

And on the Université de Laval’s track, she did, in the 100 and was close to her personal best in the 400. She admits the 800 wasn’t her best performance.

“[It] was at the end of the night and I kind of died,” she said. “I had a really good first lap.”

For now, she’s enjoying her time at home in Regina, getting back into a routine.

“It’s so nice,” she said. “I feel like I’ve been running all over the place chasing this standard.”

She’s enjoying time spent at the track training at home.

“I’m just going to pretend that I know that I’m going and I’ll train like that,” she said.

Until she receives word on the 25th about the team, she feels like she’s in a limbo. And on Monday, “I’ll probably be checking my email every five minutes.”
