OUA Nordic Ski Championships
at LU
Banner Season: Both Thunderwolves
teams step up to top of the podium with dominant outings
Nordic Skiing 2/28/2022 9:00:00
AM
Sudbury,
Ont. (via Laurentian Voyageurs) - The
2022 OUA Nordic Championships were held Saturday and Sunday
on the campus of Laurentian University. The course conditions
were in wonderful shape and, despite some unexpected strong
winds, the competitors had fantastic two days of racing.
Day 1 began with the interval
start freestyle event, which saw the women hit the trails
first followed by the men. After three laps of the 3.5km
course, it was Lakehead Thunderwolves skier, Shaylynn
Loewen, who topped the podium with a time of 33:26. She
was followed closely behind by uOttawa Gee-Gee, Magalie
Daoust, who was 9.7 seconds off the pace. Lakehead’s
Natalie Hynes rounded out the podium in a time of 33:43.1.
On the men’s side,
it was a pair of skiers who separated themselves from
the pack with Waterloo Warriors skier, Finn Dodgson, grabbing
gold in 28:01.6 while Lakehead’s Guillaume Pelchat
finished second, 28:18.5 behind. Carleton Ravens’
Devon Pengrum was able to grab the bronze medal in a time
of 29:26.8, 1:25.2 behind the race winner.
In the afternoon, it was
the team relays that took centre stage. On the women’s
side, a trio of schools separated themselves from the
pack as the Carleton Ravens, Lakehead Thunderwolves, and
Ottawa Gee-Gees sprinted for the line. In the end, it
was the Gee-Gees surging ahead of the Thunderwolves at
the line with just 0.2 seconds separating the two, as
the Ravens had to settle for bronze.
In the men’s race,
after a tight first leg, the teams started to be strung
out and, in the end, the Thunderwolves pulled away from
Nipissing to finish fifteen seconds clear of the Lakers
with the Ravens coming across the line in third place,
more than a minute behind the Lakers.
On Sunday, the lone races
of the day were the 10km mass start classic events. The
men were the first ones on course and it was a pair of
Thunderwolves who pulled away from the pack and Guillaume
Pelchat and Conor McGovern crossed the line 1-2, less
that one second apart, with Pelchat posting a time of
28:16. Waterloo’s Finn Dodgson rounded out the podium,
finishing 13.2 seconds back.
On the women’s side,
Shaylynn Loewen left little doubt as to who the weekend’s
top skier was as she grabbed gold for the second time,
finishing in 33:24.2, six seconds ahead of Carleton’s
Katherine Mason and 17.5 seconds ahead of teammate Natalie
Hynes.

Hey everyone just sitting here thinking
about what a great weekend this has been. As a result
of your efforts about 135 skiers enjoyed 6 awesome
races over the last 2 days. Well prepared trails,
an efficient start line and finish line and great
marshal support both in the stadium and all along
the trails. Thanks so much for your time and support
for the 2022 OUA Nordic Championships.
I heard many positive comments from athletes over
the past couple of days and hope you feel proud
of your contribution to the event. For many athletes
today provided the first mass start event that they
have enjoyed in the past 2 years. I am happy that
we were able to provide that experience this weekend.
Thanks again
Steven Tremblay
I would like to echo Chris’
comments and also thank Chris for his huge contribution
this weekend. Your leadership and expertise is appreciated.
Having recently moved back to Sudbury,
I was struck by the kindness and professionalism
that you all showed. An examples that stand out
is how you all waited for the last athletes to get
through the line to cheer them on and to ensure
they had a positive race experience. The Cross country
Canada technical director asked that I make sure
to let you all know that she was impressed with
how quickly and efficiently you were able to adapt
to your roles which allowed for things to run smoothly.
This was my first attempt as chief
of competition and I thank you all for your help
and support.

Laurentian University Indoor Track
& Field Team at York and Toronto
Press Release
Sunday, February 27, 2022
“LU’s Zongo and Mrozewski
lead way for Voyageur Indoor Track and Field Team at
York and Toronto”
Second-year Law and Justice student, Marvin Zongo (Burkina
Faso) and first year Nursing student, Kristen Mrozewski
(Sudbury) led Laurentian’s Indoor Track and Field
team at competitions at York University and the University
of Toronto this weekend.
Zongo, currently ranked fourth in the national university
rankings in both long jump and triple jump, won gold
in the men’s long jump at the York University
Winter Invitational on Friday evening. Zongo’s
fifth round jump of 7.13 metre pushed him into the lead
and ended up being the top mark in the competition.
Zongo’s season’s best remains at 7.24 metres,
set earlier in the season.
Mrozewski earned a silver medal in the women’s
1,000m race at the Fred Foot Invitational at the University
of Toronto on Saturday. Mrozewski’s time of 3
minutes 2.92 seconds was a personal best and also qualified
her for the OUA Championships later this season. In
the same race, fellow Voyageur rookie, Sarah Booth (Peterborough)
also qualified for provincials with a time of 3 minutes
4.14 seconds, good for sixth place.
“We very excited to have two rookies qualify for
provincials in the women’s 1,000m”, noted
Head Coach, Darren Jermyn. “It’s a tough
event that often takes a few attempts to get the pacing
correct. Kristen really showed her strength from the
cross-country season, as she passed five athletes in
the final two laps to win silver. Sarah held her own
and ran four seconds faster than last week.”
The Indoor Track and Field Team will next compete at
the Don Wright Challenge at Western University next
weekend.
