Dear Members of the University Community,

We were shocked to learn about the horrific stabbing attack that took place at the University of Waterloo on Wednesday afternoon, June 28.

We stand in solidarity with universities across the country in condemning all gendered and racialized violence, among others, that is on the rise all around us.

UPEI’s cross-country program is pleased to welcome five new recruits to the team for the 2023–24 season: Maria Austen and Anna Harris on the women’s side, and Baley Wolfe, Max MacIsaac, and Jacob Dalton on the men’s side.

Head coach Mike Peterson is confident the new team members can help the program now and into the future. The program has taken massive strides in recent years, but Peterson says there’s still much more to accomplish. His goal is to continue the upward trajectory of the past couple of years and eventually carry a banner back to UPEI.
