XC | Lobert Recognized as Community Service Award Winner

BURLINGTON, ON - When she isn't racing with the Laurentian Voyageurs, Marissa Lobert (Sault Ste Marie, Ont.) is heavily involved in community initiatives, both locally and abroad and is this year's recipient of the Women's Community Service Award.

Last summer, Lobert, a fourth-year nursing student-athlete, volunteered with Action International, where she travelled to the Philippines to assist at the Shalom Christian Birthing Home helping women leading up to, during and after the birth of their babies. Back in her hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Lobert coached five and seven year old girls soccer teams in the Sault Youth Soccer League and helped organize tours and team breakfasts for the Laurentian Challenge Elementary School Races. Lobert was named an Academic All-Canadian in 2015-16 and earlier this year placed 1st overall at the Laurentian Open.
