HAMILTON, Ont. – Annie Sterenberg (Vineland, Ont.) and Albert Lanting (Caledonia, Ont.) of the Mohawk Mountaineers cross country program have been named the Athletes of the Week for the period of October 21-27.

Sterenberg and the Mohawk women's cross country team made history at the OCAA Championships this past weekend, securing the program's first team gold medal since 1988. The third-year runner led her team with a fifth-place individual finish and earned a spot on the OCAA All-Ontario First Team. Sterenberg has consistently excelled, having been named to the All-Ontario First Team at every OCAA Championship she has participated in since 2021.

Lanting delivered a standout performance, achieving the best individual finish by a Mountaineer at the OCAA Championships since 2018 with a second-place result. This marks the first time since 1994 that a Mohawk athlete has claimed OCAA silver. The second-year runner outperformed all five returning athletes who finished ahead of him last year.
