Alaere Peterside

Alaere Peterside is a first-year science student from Port Harcourt, Nigeria. She captured a gold medal in the high jump at the AUS Track and Field Championships this past weekend at the Université de Moncton, surpassing the competition by clearing a height of 1.65m. The participant closest to Peterside's mark jumped 1.59m.

"At the AUS championships, Alaere found her early season form again, clearing heights by a wide margin," said head coach Colin MacAdam. "She finished at a height of 1.65m to claim gold and cap off a successful season."
