Lethbridge, AB – The SUBWAY Pronghorn Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 9, 2014.
 
Female Athlete of the Week:
Kayla Gallagher– Women’s Track
 
Reigning CIS weight throw champion Kayla Gallagher was once again the cream of the crop in the event, claiming her second consecutive CIS title. As expected the event was a two-horse race for gold in the weight throw with a battle between Gallagher and Saskatchewan Huskie Taryn Suttie.
 
On her fourth of six throws, Gallagher set a new personal best for the second meet in a row and claimed the gold medal with a throw of 18.66 metres. Suttie was second with an 18.21 metre throw; no other competitors were within a metre of the top two throwers.
  
Gallagher also competed in the shot put event and finished eighth with her furthest throw of 12.69 metres.
