JENN EBERMAN

Never one to sit still, Jenn somehow balances performance training with a gazillion life duties. Her ability to fit it all in and find solutions prove her dedication and passion to her training and racing. Her dog Spencer shares Angels' mascot duty, sometimes showing up at races to cheer on the Angels and support his incredible owner.  

BETH WIGHTMAN 

It's hard to believe that someone who is so understanding & concerned about others can find the inner drive to push herself to unbelievable lengths. Truly one of a kind! Beth has the ability to make everyone around her feel better (especially Coach!) and the Angels are lucky that she is part of our group. Beth is currently in Ann Arbor, MI while her husband Brett earns his MBA. The Angels eagerly await her return, but in the meantime Beth will make a name for herself at races south of our border.

JANE CULLIS

Jane adds great energy and style to our group workouts. Her commitment to running is unsurpassed, pursuing her PhD and updating her blog (see links page), Jane always brings her "A" game to practice and to races.

VAL HUNTER

Hailing from North Bay, Val is the youngest member of the Angels. But bear in mind the line from Dirty Dancing (filmed before Val was even born!) "Nobody puts Baby in the corner." Everybody gets a kick out of Val, whether for her easy laughter, her impressive improvement or her willingness to challenge herself, ie: why not hop in a half Ironman??  Val raced a number of distances and in 2010 won her age group in her first Half Ironman ever! Val is also a Boston finisher and will be raced her 4th marathon in 2011. 

KATRINA LEE (aka Mamma K)

Katrina is one of the original Angels, quickly earning her monicker "MamaK" from her innate concern to take care of others and from her compassionate ear. Katrina has been racing for 10 years and proved to be a mileage junkie from the get go. She is a true marathoner whose first race ever was the Toronto International marathon. She won her first marathon in 2010 in Picton through challenging conditions but with the determination to win her first marathon crown.  Ever dedicated, she commutes from Milton 3 times a week to train with the Angels.  Katrina also competed in Ironman Canada 2005.

ANNE MYERS

Anne is another one of the original Angels.  Anne has been racing since Grade 3, and has excelled in short distances, but in 2011 challenged herself to her first ever half marathon. Anne ran varsity cross country for Dalhousie University and for University of Toronto. One of the few "pure runners" of the group, Anne also enjoys adventures like trail racing and hiking through Costa Rica.

KATIE SNOWDEN

The Angels recruited Katie ("Stewie") at the Grimbsy Half Marathon in 2011 after watching her cruise to a bronze finish. Even though she is only 26, Katie has completed 15 marathons, 6 of them under 3 hours! In Oct 2010, Katie ran the Chicago marathon in 2:46, getting guidance from hockey pals from her alma mater, Lake Forest U in Illinois, where she played varsity hockey. Who would have guessed that hockey players knew marathon running? Amazing! You are an incredible Angel Stewie!

RUTH WEAVER

Ruth is a short distance speedster that has been with the Angels since the beginning. She ran varsity Cross Country and Track at Dalhousie. A 5km specialist with a number of podium finishes, Ruth took the plunge and raced her first 10kmin 2011.  Ruth also dominates the duathlon scene, achieving overall Female Subaru Series Champion in 2008. 

SUZANNE ZELAZO

ANDREA ZEZELIC

Andrea is the Bay St athlete of the group. She joined the Angels two years ago and has made significant gains. Having only been a recreational athlete before becoming an Angel, she started competing in triathlons 2 years ago and completed her first Ironman in Penticton 2010.  Her goal this year is to qualify for the Ironman Champs in Kona, Hawaii. With her dedication and drive, Andrea will definitely hit this goal and many others!

ALI DRYNAN (with Coach & MamaK)

Ali = enthusiasm! Bringing high energy to the Angels, Ali knows how to run fast and somehow hold a conversation at the same time. Quite a feat ! With a busy job as a physio, and always on the go with getting married, buying a house, etc, Ali does an amazing job maintaining her fitness no matter how much stuff she has on the go. A fast marathon is on the horizon once we get through the domestic flurry.
