Charlottetown, PEI (September 10, 2024)—Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Athletes of the Week for September 2-8, 2024, are Anna Harris (women's cross country) and Jack Roberts (men's cross country).
Harris had one of her strongest performances as a Panther at the Acadia University Invitational meet in Wolfville, Nova Scotia on September 7. The sophomore runner and Science student from Souris, PEI led the pack for most of the 8 km race before finishing fourth overall with a time of 31:56.
"We knew Anna was getting faster and trending toward this result, but to come in fourth as a sophomore is a tremendous accomplishment," said head coach Mike Peterson.
A fourth-year Arts student from Charlottetown, Roberts had a strong run in his season debut at the Invitational, finishing as UPEI's top runner and 11th overall with a time of 27:56.
"This has been a long time coming for Jack," said coach Peterson. "He has been working tirelessly for years, and it is great to see his hard work pay off."
Go Panthers Go!
