⭐ This week's #HallOfFameFriday feature celebrates Kelly Rogers, the most decorated Nordic ski athlete in the history of the uofguelph!⁠
⁠
On Saturday, June 25, 2022, Kelly will officially enter the Gryphon Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 2022 class (link in bio for 🎟️ & details!)⁠!⁠
⁠
The late 1970s and early 1980s marked the most successful era in the history of Guelph Gryphon's women’s Nordic Skiing team. Kelly Rogers was the driving force behind that success, putting together an outstanding four-year career on the ski trails from 1979-80 to 1982-83.⁠
⁠
As a rookie in 1979-80, Rogers was a key part of a Gryphon team that would go on to capture the OUA team title, which to this date, remains the lone Nordic Skiing conference title in U of G history. In both 1980-81 and 1981-82, Kelly would reach the pinnacle of her sport, finishing first overall at the OWIAA Nordic Skiing Championships to claim the title of women’s overall champion. ⁠
⁠
To this day, she remains the only Gryphons women’s Nordic athlete to ever be named the OUA overall champion on multiple occasions. For her outstanding accomplishments in her sport, Kelly was named the University of Guelph’s Female Athlete of the Year in 1981-82. ⁠
⁠
Congrats Kelly on your well-deserved induction! Link in bio for more details!⁠⁠⁠
