Hattie Kanyo (Exercise Science, 2014)
Kanyo was an incredible student-athlete competing for the Kodiaks. During the 2012-13 athletic season, she excelled as a dual athlete, participating in both women's soccer and women's cross-country. In her final season of 2013-14, she added women's indoor track to her repertoire, making her a tri-sport student-athlete. Kanyo has since carried her academic and athletic skills beyond post-secondary education, now working as a trainer at CrossFit Framework.
Hattie, another standout in the world of CrossFit, is a professional athlete who won the ELFIT CrossFit Championships—an international competition held in Cairo, Egypt—in November 2023. She also qualified for the 2024 CrossFit Games. Additionally, she has become an international CrossFit coach, a role that she says has further enhanced her skills in new and meaningful ways.
Brent Fikowski (Business Administration - Accounting, 2011)
Fikowski was a standout student-athlete for the Kodiaks, playing men's volleyball from 2009 to 2011. After his collegiate career, Fikowski transitioned to beach volleyball, competing at high levels including various domestic and international events. In 2012, he walked into an Australian CrossFit gym to improve his strength and stamina for competitive volleyball, which ultimately led him to shift his focus entirely to CrossFit.
In the world of CrossFit, Fikowski has made a significant impact, excelling as both a top competitor and coach. He has competed at the CrossFit Games eight times, securing podium finishes twice. His impressive achievements also include three regional wins, two SemiFinal victories, and three podium finishes at Sanctionals.
