Thunderwolves Set Personal Bests at OUAs

The Lakehead track team had a few athletes compete at the OUA championships this past weekend in Windsor. The Thunderwolves ran very well as Lakehead athletes competed in 5 events and set 4 personal bests.

“Great results from Rebekkah and Tia – to come into the biggest meet of the year and run two-lifetime bests is awesome, especially as a first-year athlete. They both have bright futures in the OUA.“- Coach Kip Sigsworth

Rebekkah Pyle finished 7th in the 3000m (9:59.98) and 7th in the 1500m (4:43.95). Tia Lampo placed 17th in the 300m with a time of 40.95 and 18th in the 600m (1:37.59). Derek Patterson ran in the 3000m and was 22nd in 9:16.46.

“While having only 3 athletes qualify for the OUA meet is not what we hoped for, I feel good about the culture we have created this year and the direction that the program is heading. We saw lots of improvement this year and with a year for our young team to improve and with the addition of several excellent recruits next year I am excited about the future.” 

The Gryphons captured both the men’s and women’s team OUA titles.
