Women's Cross Country

The team battled through over 15 cm of fresh snow to narrowly earn the gold. Sophia Nowicki led the team in earning an individual bronze medal, while Anna LeBlanc, Rosie Bouchard and Vildana Rekic also placed for the gold medal winning Kodiaks.
Owen Beers - MSOC
Owen (first year, Business Admin) not only helped lead the Kodiaks to their first ever natioanls appearance after helping the team win the ACAC championship, he also scored the first CCAA nationals goal in Kodiaks history last weekend in Oshawa.
Displaying terrific quality and touch around the net all season, Beers showed a knack for scoring timely goals. He tied the Kodiaks opening quarter-final match late with a brilliant header in the 82nd minute and was a strong offensive presence all tournament long.
