Rodrigues Climbs Podium at OFSAA XC

 
On a snowy Saturday in Sudbury, Sierra Rodrigues added to her 2019 accomplishments by taking the silver medal in the Junior girls race at the OFSAA Cross Country Championships.
 
Sierra, the ROPSSAA champion from St. Michaels in Bolton, pushed to the front from the gun & stayed in contention throughout the cold & snowy 5.2K race.
 
Her silver medal performance was an upgrade from last years 5th place finish.
 
Rodrigues, one half of 310 Running’s Glimmer Twins, has quietly put together a breakout season & will add her newest OFSAA medal to the silver & bronze medals that she earned at the OFSAA Track & Field Championships in Guelph this past summer.
 
 
Sierra is now preparing for the Athletics Ontario Championships in King City, ON followed by Athletics Canada National Championships in Abbotsford, BC at the end of November.

Twice as Nice at OFSAA


 What is better than winning a medal at OFSAA? Winning two medals.
 
And what is better than one of your athletes winning two medals? Two of your athletes winning two medals each!
