Alanna Kovacs
Induction Award:
Starting at age 13, Alanna showed interest in track and field, in particular discus and javelin. Alanna's early participation in competitive sports helped her to build strength, speed and flexibility that she would later depend on. Javelin and discus require the body to respond to different movements and typically these two disciplines aren't performed by the same athlete. Alanna has travelled the world performing at the highest level while representing Ontario, Canada and for DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. She has participated at the World Youth Championships, Pam Am Juniors, World Francophone Games. NACAC U23 Championships, NCAA Finals, Summer Games and the Pam Am Games to name a few. This highly decorated track and field athlete from Springwater continues to give back to her sport and community by helping to coach and being an active ambassador of her sport.
