Stefania Angona and Joel Gallant named UPEI Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The UPEI Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for September 14–20 are Stefania Angona (women’s cross country) and Joel Gallant (men’s cross country).

Angona is a fifth-year psychology student from Brampton, Ontario. She had a strong showing in her season debut at the UPEI Invitational on September 19, leading the Panthers with an eighth-place finish overall in a time of 30:01.

“I am very pleased with Stef’s season opener,” said Mike Peterson, UPEI Cross Country Panthers head coach. “We’re excited to see what her final year brings. If she keeps putting in the work, she has a very good shot at being an AUS All-Star this year.”

Gallant is a fifth-year human biology student from Wellington, PEI. He put together an impressive performance on home soil, finishing third overall in the men’s race with a time of 25:17 on September 19.

“Joel continues to be the leader of the men’s group on and off the trail. It was great to see him podium in front of friends and family this weekend. We’re excited to see where his last AUS journey takes him,” said Peterson.

Go Panthers Go!
