Coach celebrating Paralympic medal win

Brett Lumley, associate coach with Lancer track and field, found success on another stage, responsible for jumps and throws for Team Canada at the Paris Paralympics.

First-time Paralympian Jesse Zesseu earned a silver medal in the F37 discuss with a throw of 53.24 metres on Sept. 6.

At last year’s world championship tournament, Zesseu triple-faulted in what he described as the worst meet of his life.

Keeping his footing in Paris and finding his way to the podium is “just everything,” he says. “I have no words. It’s incredible.”
