Anna Bartlett was surrounded by the multitude of people who have supported her as she signed with Trinity
Western.
competes in the Canadian
West Athletics Association,
where the cross-country
teams have done quite well
over the years. Based on
her high school accomplish-
ments, which include four
appearances at the state meet
in cross-country, including
a top-10 finish as a junior,
Bartlett will likely contrib-
ute immediately to the team’s
continued success. The
Spartans top runner this year,
senior Regan Yee, won the
Canada West individual title,
helping the team to second
place.
Bartlett, who plans to
enter the school’s nursing
program, had not heard about
the school until the start of
her senior year when she and
a friend, while researching
colleges, had the idea to look
at schools in Canada. As it
turned out, Trinity Western
had what Bartlett was looking
for so she applied, leading to
acceptance and an offer to
run for the cross-country and
track teams.
Trinity Western was estab-
lished in 1962 and includes
4,000 students, making it
the largest privately funded
Christian university in
Canada. The city of Langley,
with a population of just over
140,000, is located about 40
miles southeast of Vancouver.
Josh Nordell, who served
as Bartlett’s cross-country
coach throughout her high
school career, spoke at the
signing ceremony.
“Anna has been a very
special part of our program
here at Sisters High School,
and we know that she will
continue to do well in her
college years in every way.”
The distance for women’s
cross-country races at the
collegiate level in Canada
is 8 kilometers (4.91 miles),
while high school races are
typically 5 kilometers (3.1
miles), but most runners have
no difficulty moving up to
that distance according to
Nordell.
“Anna will likely run the
same pace for eight kilome-
ters that she is accustomed to
running for five kilometers
before long,” he said.
Bartlett is the daughter of
Katie and Rob Keranen.
