Amanda Kosmerly, running for Cambrian College has been burning up the collegiate cross country trails this fall. Amanda has competed in 3 races to date in Hamilton, Kingston and Peterborough and has finished in the gold medal position in all three races!!!! Her most recent victory was in Peterborough on the same course she will race Nationals at later this year.
