Canadian Running<\/em> and Under Armour have teamed up for the 2024 Canadian U Sports cross-country season to highlight some of the top homegrown talents across the country. Each week, leading up to the 2024 U Sports Cross-Country Championships in Kelowna, B.C., in November, Canadian Running<\/em> will select the top athlete as the Under Armour Athlete of the Week.<\/p>\n

The award will go to a U Sports cross-country athlete who achieved a standout performance at their meet. These athletes will be featured on Canadian Running<\/em> and awarded an Under Armour prize pack featuring the new UA Infinite Pro Trail shoe. This week we are covering conference championship weekend, and highlighting Constance Nankivell<\/strong> of Trinity Western University and Philippe Morneau-Cartier<\/strong> of Universit\u00e9 Laval for their performances on Oct. 26.<\/p>\n

Constance Nankivell, <\/strong>Trinity Western University (CanWest)<\/h2>\n

At last Saturday’s CanWest Championships at Stoney Creek Park in Camrose, Alta., Constance<\/strong> Nankivell<\/strong> of Trinity Western University (TWU) finished her 8K race with no other athletes in sight. The 24-year-old claimed gold with a time of 28:38, winning by a margin of more than 37 seconds. She’s the first TWU athlete to win the conference title since TWU alum and now-Olympian Regan Yee<\/strong><\/a> won in 2017.<\/p>\n

Nankivell told Canadian Running<\/em> that she feels “so delighted,” about the result. “It was one of those races where all the hard work came together perfectly,” she says, explaining that the hilly course played to her advantage. “I just felt super strong and managed to pull away earlier than I expected.”<\/p>\n
