Rebecca and Devon in Europe

Two TNOR alumni are now competing in Europe - in two different sports.

Devon Kershaw
Devon Kershaw is about to begin his European season in nordic skiing. Devon has a new website that will keep you informed about his progress:

Rebecca Johnston
Rebecca Johnston is now in Sweden playing for the senior national team in the Four Nations Cup. At 18, Rebecca is the youngest member of the team. They play their first game tonight, against Finland.

Rebecca is taking time away from her Cornell team to play for the national team. By the way, some of you will remember that Rebecca had to withdraw from OFSAA track last spring because of back pain. The discomfort lasted all summer, and in September, she found out what the problem was - a small vertebrae fracture in her back!!

At any rate, she appears to have recovered and is now in Sweden!!
You can see an article on Rebecca in yesterday's Sudbury Star.

Rochester Race Results

Yellowjacket Invitational, Hosted by the University of Rochester, Rochester NY
10/13/07

Led by rookie, Kellie Laing's top-30 finish, Laurentian's women's cross-country team placed 8th out of 15 teams at the Yellowjacket Invitational in Rochester, New York this weekend.

A fast start by Stephanie Flieler set the stage for the Lady Vees, almost all of whom ran personal bests over a 5k course. Laing placed 28th in team scoring, breaking the 20:00 barier with a time of 19:59. She was followed by Maggie Robins, 40th with a personal best time of 20:13, Hilary Kilbreath, 48th in 20:237 (PB), Stephanie Flieler, 52nd in 20:31, and Celeste Woods, 90th in 21:41 (PB)2q. Amanda Seed in 22:38 and Becky Van Zeyl in 23:31 finished as displacers. The race involved 163 runners from U.S. and Ontario universities.

The average time for Laurentian's five scoring runners was 20:34.

"I ran a conservative race," said Laing, of her relatively slow start," But I realize I'll have to start faster for the OUA's.

"The race was won by Laurentian graduate,Leila Angrand, in a time of 17:48. Angrand is now studying for her Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Western Ontario.

"We held Meghan Juuti and Kirsti Dolson out of the race," said head coach, Dick Moss, of his top-two runners. "We want to make sure they're healthy for the OUA's in two weeks. But this gave some of the other girls, like Kelly and Maggie, a chance to shine."

Nice run for Leila at the McGill Open XC Race. Leila, who is taking her Masters of Occupational Therapy degree at Western, won the race by 55 seconds with a time of 14:48 over the hilly 4k course.

Devon Kershaw, won the Longboat 10k. Devon won in 31:45 running on his own completely from start to finish (hit 5k in 15:28). See his post-race photo attached...yup - he's still wearing his Track North singlet.

Kershaw's 5k!

Well, I know one nordic skier who can run. Devon Kershaw ran a 5k time trial today - on the Laurentian track, in flats, alone except for two timers, and hammered a personal best 15:03! His splits were 1k: 2:45, 3k: 8:50.

Devon is in Sudbury for a day or two and may drop by the track tonight with his girlfriend, Chandra Crawford.

For those of you who don't know him, Devon is a TNOR alumni who is a member of the Canadian Olympic Nordic ski team. He has already been a world cup medalist in the sprints. Chandra won a nordic gold medal in the last Olympics.

Another Medal for Grace

Apparently Grace Thomson won yet another medal at the National Legions, as one of the runners on Ontario's medley relay team that won bronze. Thanks to Peter Hocking, who was officiating there and sent me the news.

Thomson also ran on Ontario's 4 x 400m relay team that placed third, and the 4 x 100m team that placed fifth.

Track North Athletes Medal at Provincial and Eastern Canadian Championships
