2014 FOG XC Running Award Winners – You can dress them up nice, but …
The accolades continued on Thursday night for Wolves top two runners. At the 44th Annual Festival of Gold at the Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre, Hayden Hollowell was honoured as the 2013-14 GPRC Male Athlete of the Year. Jamie Wigmore, along with volleyball player Tonya Dueck, was named co-winner of the GPRC Female Athlete of the Year.
