Staehli competes at Nationals
Valerie Gillies
Lucknow Sentinel
Jackie Staehli is currently
injury -free and is again com-
peting hard, most recently at
the Nationals Cross Country
meet in St. John's, New-
foundland. 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
