The LWTFC celebrated its many achievements of the 2022 season at a gala event held at Bellamere Winery on Dec. 6. The evening was well attended by members, parents, coaches, Board members, and guests.
With a third consecutive AO Overall Outdoor Club championship title, 73 AO Track/XC Championship medals, 28 National Championship medals including a Senior Men’s and U20 Men’s ACXC Team title, and 22 AO All-Ontarians, that’s just the start of a long list of the accolades we were applauding.
Attendees enjoyed a delicious meal and were inspired by Damian Warner during his Q&A presentation. Door prizes galore were distributed, including two pairs of tickets to a London Lightning game for the early bird ticket purchasers.
The full list of award winners is listed below, along with a summary of LWTFC’s Provincial, National, and International achievements.

We can’t wait for next year!
