ACAC Athletes of the Week November 9 - 15, 2009

Willy Kimosop raced his way to a Gold Medal in the 2009 CCAA Cross Country Nationals held this past weekend in Camrose. Kimosop's victory helped the Kodiak Men’s Cross Country Team earn the Men’s Cross Country Title also. No stranger to success this year, Kimosop was the ACAC Gold Medalist and is the ACAC Overall Grand Prix Winner.  Willy has run undefeated for two consecutive years in all post secondary competition. 

Willy is a third year Exercise Science student, who hails from Kabarnet, Kenya. 

Congratulations Willy on another outstanding season!

Jodi ran her best race of the season to win the Silver Medal at the CCAA Cross-Country Running National Championships this past weekend at Augustana. With a time of 19:23, she was the top ACAC runner, placing second only to Liliane Sparkes from Fanshawe College in Ontario.  She was 16 seconds faster on a slightly longer but otherwise identical course four weeks earlier when she placed second, 1 second behind the winner. Jodi was a member of the ACAC Gold Medal winning conference team based on their second and sixth place finish two weeks earlier in the ACAC Championships.

Jodi is currently in her second year Nursing Program at Red Deer College.

Congratulations Jodi on a wonderful Championship run!
