Male Athlete of the Week

Matthew Travaglini - cross-country running

SAIT Trojans men’s cross-country runner Matthew Travaglini ran his way to his second consecutive Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Cross-Country Running Championship this past weekend at the event hosted by Lakeland College in Vermilion, Alta.

His time of 25:46 was a full 20 seconds faster than the second-place finisher. Travaglini’s individual success also led to team success, as his Trojans men’s team earned their third-straight ACAC title. Travaglini will now defend his CCAA National Championship on Nov. 10 at the National Championships hosted by Seneca College in Ontario.

Matthew Travaglini is a Geomatics Engineering Technology student at SAIT.
