SENECA ADDS STANDOUT LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER

TORONTO - The Seneca Sting and head coach Anthony Biggar are proud to announce the recent signing of Jameson Tige to the cross country running team.

A resident of Toronto, Tige comes to Seneca College from Nairobi, Kenya where he was a standout, running for the club Athletics Kenya Nyandarua SubBrand.

When speaking about the signing of Tige, Biggar spoke very highly about his potential. "Jameson has run in several marathons, half marathons, and shorter races that have us extremely excited at the potential he brings to the team and the College. We have been fortunate the past few seasons having the Braithwaite sisters leading the women's program and we look to Jameson to have that same kind of success and leadership on the men's side."

A graduate of Kaharo High School, Tige will be studying at the Seneca @ York Campus this fall in the Social Service Worker program.

Tige will join a men's cross country running team who qualified for the CCAA championship last year following a ninth place finish at the OCAA championship. This year's OCAA championship will be hosted by Redeemer University College on October 26. The CCAA championship will be hosted by Humber College on November 9.

Biggar concluded, "We welcome Jameson to the Seneca family and look forward to seeing him running in our Sting uniform in the fall."
