2012 National Championships - Valleyfield, PQ

What a great Nationals! This year's installment of the National Championships was great. There were so many excellent results and such quality paddling.

Thank you to the organizers who set up a great event and camping for all the competitors to enjoy. A huge thank you to my coaches Thomas Purcell and Brace Lee for helping all the athletes have an enjoyable time and helping them race their best!

Here's some highlights starting with the big picture:
  • Congratulations to Ontario for winning the Brian Creer Cup with 113points! Alberta was close behind with a much smaller team at 99points. Quebec, BC and Saskatchewan followed.
  • Levi Severtson got his name on the Jr Mens Team trophy for the 4th year in a row! Ryley and Samu are both there with Levi twice.
  • Ben Hayward (Edmonton) and Cam Smedley (Ottawa) swept the Golds in the men's classes K1, C1, C2
  • Hannah Penner and Darius Ramrattan swept the cadet podium prospect awards
  • Ryley Penner 5th place in Seniors on Sunday (just behind coach Mike)
  • Darius Ramrattan was the top cadet on Sunday, qualifiying for the A-Final!
  • Jessica Groeneveld & Veronica Ozcowski tripled in K1, C1, C2, showing gender equity is possible (take notice ICF and IOC)
  • Alberta Senior Men Won the Team Race - Ben Hayward, Adrian Cole, Mike Holroyd
  • Nick Atkinson wins the unofficial Alberta 'warrior' prize for racing despite at knee injury.
