Riversdale Athletics Club

RIVA’s Profiled Athlete to end 2023 is Katherine Rogers. Katie is a grade 11 French Immersion student at Central Collegiate in Moose Jaw.

Some of Katie’s top performances during the 2023 outdoor season were 1st in the 1500m and 3000m, 3rd in the 800m, and junior girls aggregate winner at SHSAA Provincials in June 2023. At Legion Nationals this past summer, Katie placed 9th in the 3000m and 12th in the 1500m.
Katie also had a successful cross country season placing 2nd at SHSAA XC provincials, 3rd at ACXC provincials, and an impressive 14th at ACXC Nationals in Ottawa last month.

Katie’s goals for this upcoming season are to improve her PB times and to improve her placements at the provincial and national levels. Katie also wants to learn more about the sport from the RIVA coaches and athletes this season.

Katie has been in involved in Saskatchewan track and field since the beginning of 2022 when she started running competitively. After about a year and a half of slowly improving, Katie decided she wanted to take it to the next level. Riversdale caught her eye “because of the close community of all the athletes and coaches. It was clear to see that the coaches gave their athletes the ability to train to their full potential. Ever since joining the club in July of this year, I have felt welcomed, cared for, and respected by everyone. I’m so grateful for the opportunity that was offered to me to be apart of of this club!”

Outside of track, Katie enjoys spending time with her two older sisters and her friends and family. She enjoys working and volunteering at the local hospital.

Congratulations on your past accomplishments and good luck as the new season begins. RIVA is proud to have you as part of our track family! ❤️

Our second profiled athlete for the Fall 2023 season is Adrianna Schmidt. Adrianna is a grade 9 student who just recently joined Riversdale.

Adrianna placed 1st in high jump at the Saskatchewan Club Provincials held in Saskatoon this past summer. She travelled to Youth Nationals in Sherbrooke, QC where she competed in hurdles and high jump. She placed 9th in her high jump event.

Adrianna’s goals for this upcoming season are to improve her hurdle time and continue to work on form and technique in both events.

Outside of track Adrianna enjoys school and club volleyball. In the summer she likes to wake surf.

Adrianna just joined Riversdale this past spring and has really enjoyed the coaches and the atmosphere that Riversdale provides. Good luck to you, Adrianna, as you begin your training for this upcoming season. We can’t wait to watch you grow in your track abilities. ❤️

The first profiled athlete for the Fall 2023 season is Naysa Woods. Naysa is a Grade 10 student at Centennial Collegiate and joined Riversdale in 2022.

Naysa had a very successful outdoor season in 2023. She won gold in the 800m, 1500m, and 3000m at cities. At provincials, Naysa placed second in the 3000m and third in the 800m. This past summer, Naysa traveled to Sherbrooke, QC to compete in Youth Nationals and placed ninth in the 2km and thirteenth in the 1200m.

Naysa’s goals for the upcoming season are to continue improving and pushing herself throughout the year while also helping others around her to reach their goals.

Since joining Riversdale just over a year ago, Naysa has had so many improvements and accomplishments and she attributes it to the support and hard work of all her coaches. Outside of track, Naysa enjoys playing volleyball and travelling.

Naysa sets a great example for our younger athletes with her hard work, dedication to training, and positive attitude. Congratulations on all you have accomplished last year, Naysa, and good luck in all your events during this upcoming season! ❤️
