Megan Tandy picked a great time to find her peak form.
The 30-year-old three-time Olympian from Prince George won the Canadian trials last week in Canmore, Alta., and was rewarded with a spot on the senior national team. She will head to Austria early next week for a training camp to prepare for Word Cup races over the next month in Slovenia, Austria and the Czech Republic.
Tandy finished second, first and fourth, respectively, in the three national team selection races.
The Caledonia Nordic Ski Club member will form the four-member women's team for the first leg of the World Cup tour with Megan Bankes of Calgary, Rosanna Crawford of Canmore and Nadia Moser of Whitehorse, Yukon.
The Gow brothers of Calgary, Christian and Scott, Nathan Smith of Calgary and Brendan Green of Hay River, N.W.T., were named to the male World Cup team coached by Matthias Ahrens and Pavel Lantsov.
Two other Caledonia club members, Sarah Beaudry of Prince George and Emily Dickson of Burns Lake, made the cut for Canada's IBU Cup team. Emma Lunder of Vernon and Darya Sepandj of Calgary complete the women's squad. The men's team consists of Jules Burnotte of Sherbrooke, Que., Carsen Campbell of Bedeque, P.E.I., Aidan Millar of Canmore and Adam Runnalls of Calgary.
Jeff Lodge will coach the IBU Cup team.
The IBU Cup Tour 1 team will leave for Austria in early December for a training camp and Austrian Cup races. They'll also race in Italy and will return to Austria for races in late December.
Tandy, who is now based in Germany, where she lives with her son Predo, will be in Prince George this weekend for a three-day visit before she heads back to Europe.
