By Gerry Lampow

A Lloydminster softball talent has gotten a call up to the U18 Team Canada roster.

Katherine Thiessen will represent the maple leaf in the 2024 WBSC Pan American Championship from March 30 – April 6 in Colombia. The team will have Keith Mackintosh from Melfort as head coach.

Canada will play in group B facing the likes of Brazil, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, among others.

The top six teams from this phase will advance to the Super Round and from there, it’s a shot at the Group Stage of the Women’s U18 Softball World Cup which starts in late July in Brazil, China, and Dallas, USA.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
