Lethbridge, AB – The SUBWAY Pronghorn Athletes of the Week for the week ending February 24, 2013.
Female Athlete of the Week:
Kayla Gallagher – Women’s Track
Truro, Nova Scotia native Kayla Gallagher has made quite a mark in her first season with the Pronghorn track team, medaling twice at the Canada West Championships this past weekend in Regina.
In the weight throw event, Gallagher’s 16.85 metre toss was the longest in CIS history by a rookie and in turn earned her first conference title. She followed up that performance with a silver medal in the shot put with a distance of 12.94 metres.
She was an honorable mention for the Canada West rookie of the year and field event athlete of the year and will compete in both events at the CIS Championships in Edmonton, March 8-10.
