She placed sec- ond in the hurdles on July 5 despite having had Achilles heel problems leading up to the event. Staehli had hoped to qual- ify for the 2015 Pan Am games but was still recuper- ating from her injuries and could not do any competi- tions until May. She nor- mally participates in steeple- chase during spring and summer, while cross country is her fall sport. While una- ble to compete, Staehli kept up her training on a tread- mill and pool running, but was frustrated with this as she needed the competitive atmosphere to satisfy her passion. The cut-off date to qualify for the Pan Am games was June 28. Only two athletes in each event in each university can go on to the Pan Am games. Had Staehli been able to compete sooner she would have had the chance to com- pete in the International Uni- versity Sports Federation (FISU) in steeplechase, which just concluded in Korea. The Nationals are neither a varsity or club competition, which meant that Staehli could compete. Now that she is injury free and feeling good she is ready to work really hard to get back to serious training and higher levels of competition. Staehli is in her fourth year at Queens University in King- ston, which is where she com- petes for track. Her mother, Cathy Staehli, reports that Jackie is "a well-balanced young woman, a happy camper. Her motivation is high." At 21 years old, Staehli is still in her prime for competing Ripley Reunion Update Dwight Irwin The final touches are being put on Ripley Reunion 2015, which will be held July 30 to August 3.
