Tragic, devastating news, Emilie Mondor killed in car crash
It is with great sadness that Time-to-Run reports the tragic death of Canada's fine athlete Emilie Mondor. Emilie Mondor, 25, died after a car crash Saturday, September 9th. Mondor was reportedly driving a compact car which overturned on Highway 417 in East Hawkesbury, Ontario. Mondor sustained life-threatining injuries in the crash, and died later in the evening after being transported to Ottawa Civic Hospital.
In the brief period that Emilie Mondor had interaction with Time-to-Run we were most impressed with her professionalism and zest to achieve. After having travelled for many hours on her return from the 2004 World Xcountry Championships, where she led Canada to the claiming the Bronze, she still made the time to put pen to paper and send us a report on Team Canada's performance.
We send our condolences to Emilie's family and friends, as well as all those who knew her and experienced her wonderful spirit and professionalism towards the sport she loved.
