Perdita Felicien’s daughter gets pretty-in-pink birthday party
Felicien's daughter, Nova, is one year closer to potentially starting a track career like her mother's
Canadian hurdling legend Perdita Felicien‘s daughter, Nova, turned one year old over the weekend. Nova’s part of a sports-focused household, with a former Olympian mother in Felicien and a sports reporter father in Morgan Campbell. She’s only one, but growing up with those athletic influences, it won’t be surprising if she follows in her mom’s footsteps. So get ready, Canada, because Nova Carol Felicien Campbell is one year closer to a potential career as an Olympian.
Covid was not going to stop us celebrating Nova’s 1st b-day. ?Thx @zoom_us for making our virtual cake smash a thing!?

If Nova chooses a life in sports, she’s certainly got the genes for success. Plus, she has parents who know the ins and outs of the industry. It would be pretty cool to see Nova at the 2040 Olympic Games with her mom on the mic calling her race.
