She's already mapped out a training schedule that she hopes will result in a spot on the Cana- dian team. "I've definitely started planning so that when trials come in May, I'll be ready," said Bray-Lougheed, who for the first time in yearsfor the first time in yearsf won't have to worry about While the 2015 Pan Am Games kayaking events were held just an hour's drive south of her Oakville home, Alanna Bray-Lough- eed wasn't able to go and cheer on her Burloak Canoe Club teammates. Instead, she was 700 kilo- metres away in Montreal preparing for the world un- der-23 championships. Bray-Lougheed did not want to miss the races, though, so she streamed them on her computer. She watched and cheered the Canadian women's K-4 crew - the same event she would earn a fifth-place fin- ish in at the world U23s - on the opening day as it raced to a gold medal. "That was so inspiring," Bray-Lougheed said. "I re- member thinking, 'Wow, that's so cool they won Can- ada's first gold medal.'" Four years later, Bray-Four years later, Bray-F Lougheed found herself in that same position on the starting line in Lima, Peru with Canada still looking for its first gold. Canada's A- team - Alanna, Alexa (Ir- vin), Andréanne (Langlois) and Anna (Negulic) - would change that. Sitting just back of Mex- ico and Argentina, the Ca- nadians made their move in the second half of the race to beat Mexico to the line by a third of a second. Two days later, Bray- Lougheed and Langlois re- peated the feat in the K-2. They opened up a bit of a lead on Argentina just be- fore the halfway mark andfore the halfway mark andf over the second half, no team could match their pace as they won by a boat length. Bray-Lougheed said she was filled with pride hear- ing the Canadian anthem played. And though she made sure to focus on the task at hand in Peru, once the races were over, she couldn't help but think ahead a little. "I've always wanted to go to the Olympics and I've re- alized, this isn't just a goal, this is my life," she said. "To experience what I experi- enced here this week, I just want to remember that and I want to feel that again." After a few days of "doing normal people stuff" like visiting Machu Picchu, Bray-Lougheed will return home. After a short recov- ery time, her focus will be on balancing school and train- ing after completing her classes for her applied hu- man nutrition program at Mount Saint Vincent Uni- versity in Halifax. "It's going to be a lot of hard work to make that team." But if the endless kilo- metres of paddling start to get monotonous, Bray- Lougheed can always look back on her success at the Pan Am Games as a source of motivation. "I was describing it to a friend, and really it's beenfriend, and really it's beenf perfect. From getting set up in the satellite village, to our preparation on the water, and then the races, it's just been perfect." Two gold medals would back that up. BRAY-LOUGHEED DELIVERS GOLD AT PAN AM GAMES Oakville's Alanna Bray-Lougheed, right, and teammate Andréanne Langlois stand atop the podium after winning the gold medal in the women's K-2 500-metre at the Pan Am Games in Lima, Peru. It was the second gold medal for the Burloak Canoe Club member, who also secured Canada's first gold with a win in the K-4 500m two days earlier. Flávio Florido COMMUNITY HERB GARBUTT hgarbutt@metroland.com Oakville's Ignas Brazdeikis did all he could to earn him a spot on the New York Knicks next season. Brazdeikis averaged 15.4 points in five games during the NBA Summer League, matching the output of fellow Canadian andfellow Canadian andf the Knicks' third over- all pick, R.J. Barrett. The former Holy Trin- ity student had a 30- point, eight-rebound game in a 105-100 loss to Phoenix. The 6-foot-7 forward shot 51 per cent from the floor, while averag- ing 5.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Brazdeikis was also strong on the defensive side with 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.
