Alumnae Athletes Shine

Ceili was a multisport athlete at LFA, though her running prowess was on full display throughout her high school athletics career. She went to West Virginia, where she instantly made an impact. However, her third year at West Virginia has been something special. She was only seconds of the Olympic qualifying time in the 3,000m steeplechase in the spring. This autumn, she's won four straight NCAA XC meets on her way to qualifying for this year's NCAA Cross-Country Championships. She is a contender to win it all. If she can pull it off, she would be only the third Canadian woman to do so. If you'd like to read more about Ceili's season, Canadian Running magazine has a feature Ceili that's just come out.
