Todd, 25, is competing in the Pan Am Games for the first time. She'll have another chance at reaching the podium over the next few days. She's back on the squash court today competing in the women's team qualification.

Several other Saskatchewan athletes have already competed at the Games.

Saskatoon's Cory Niefer finished 18th in the men's 10 metre air rifle. Fellow Saskatoon native Aerial Arthur, 17, finished 23rd in the women's 10 metre air rifle.

On the baseball field, Canada's men's team got off to a good start beating Cuba 3-1 in their opening game. North Battleford's Andrew Albers took the mound in the seventh inning. Albers, who is currently on the Toronto Blues Jays AAA team, allowed a home run, but also picked up two strikeouts in two innings of action.

Albers and team Canada are back on the diamond Thursday to play Puerto Rico at 5:05 p.m. CST.

One Saskatchewan athlete did some heavy-lifting on Tuesday. Regina's David Samayoa finished 10th in the men's men's 94 kilogram event.
