Saskatoon Track Club is proud to recognize Kerri Lovelace as our January Athlete of the Month.

Kerri kicked off the 2026 indoor season in record-breaking fashion at the K of C Games, blazing down the track to a time of 7.83 in the 60m. The performance not only earned her a standout result, but also set a new Canadian W40 record in the event.

This incredible achievement reflects Kerri’s dedication, consistency, and passion for the sport. Her performance is a great reminder that speed, determination, and competitive spirit have no age limit.

Congratulations, Kerri! We are excited to see what the rest of the season holds.

December Athlete of the Month: Bailee Chupa

Saskatoon Track Clubs Fall Athlete of the Month: Emma Harder

A Grade 11 endurance athlete from Maymont, Emma has levelled up in a big way. Last year she placed 4th at provincials. This year she stormed to silver, clocking 3:53/km over 4 km, and later finished 60th at nationals in 24:22 on a slick course.

She thrives in the 1500m and 3000m, has embraced the 800m for speed, and trains with joy, humility, and consistency. “Running is my happy place,” she says, and it shows.

When she’s not flying on the trails and track, she’s reading playing piano, singing, hooping, or exploring the outdoors.

Congrats Emma! Your work ethic and love for the sport inspire our Club Community!
