Yay Bronze!

Congratulations to my sister, Sharon, who captured a bronze medal in the 300 metre at this weekend's CIS Track and Field Championships in Saskatoon. Sharon runs for the University of Manitoba, and this is her fifth and final year as a Bison. It is exciting that she won this medal: she's won relay medals in the past, but never for an individual event. I am an extremely proud older brother!

Update: On Saturday, Sharon won a second bronze medal as part of the 4x200 relay team. Two medals! Unfortunately, she pulled her hamstring in the process and wasn't able to run in the 4x400, the race that is, above all, her race. She is hurting physically today, I'm sure, but she should be proud that she ended her career on such a high: it is extremely impressive and attests to her hard work and determination. Again, I am an an extremely proud older brother!
