COACH KITEVSKI ROLLING



Coach Julia Kitevski has been the perfect example of how the Blue Devils do, when competing.  Recently, Julia left on a full NCAA scholarship to the University of Middle Tennessee.  After an injury that brought her 2012 OFSAA track season to a halt, Julia has been able to come back stronger then ever and compete for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raider's cross country team.  Though only a true-freshman (first year) Julia has battled for top runner on their team with fellow upperclassmen.

Last week Julia led the Blue Raiders (Middle Tennessee  to the Sun Belt Conference fourth place team title and finishing 6th herself with a time of 18:17 in the 5km. This was a pleasant surprise for the Blue Raider's were expected to place 6th as a team. Julia claimed titles of All-Sun Belt honours as well as the Sun Belt Women's Freshman of the Year!!

Julia is waiting to hear if her performance will move her on individually to the NCAA Regional Championships in Florida.

GREAT JOB JULIA AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
