The 392-member delegation includes 276 athletes, 113 mission and support staff, and three referees in 16 sports.
"I am beyond excited to be representing Canada and Queen's again," said Sumner on the opportunity. "Racing at the international level is every runner's dream, so I feel very lucky to be a part of this FISU team.
I can't wait to meet all the athletes and travel to a country I never thought I would have the opportunity to visit. I am very grateful for the ongoing support from the Queen's Athletics Department, and specifically my coach
Steve Boyd for getting me to where I am today."
Sumner is one of two current Gaels who will be heading to FISU as women's soccer star Laura Callender will also be heading to Taipei City.
The Opening Ceremony of the 2017 Summer Universiade will be held on Aug. 19 at Taipei Municipal Stadium, beginning at 7 a.m. ET (7 p.m. local time).
