Two women are the A&W Olds College Broncos Athletes of the Week for Sept. 23-29.
They are first-year Olds College Broncos badminton student-athlete Priyanna Ramdhani and second-year equine science student-athlete Emily Pugsley.
Ramdhani had a great showing for her first Alberta Series tournament, earning her a silver medal after defeating many club players from the Calgary and Edmonton areas.
The Georgetown, Guyana native won her two round robin games on Friday evening, Sept. 27 against Roya Mehri of Gao Badminton 2-0 (21-10, 21-5), and second seed Chloe Crump of Edison Badminton 2-0 (21-8 21-6).
The sports management student won her semifinals game on Saturday morning against Emilia Hyland of the Glencoe Club 2-0 (21-9 21-6). She then had a hard time adjusting to the cold and lost against Tia Clark in the final 2-0 (12-21 20-22), earning a silver medal.
Pugsley had a great weekend at the Olds College fall rodeo, coming away with two second-place finishes.
The Priddis, Alta. native competed in three events over the weekend: goat tying, breakaway roping and barrel racing. She placed second in barrel racing and goat tying.
Pugsley was last year's season leader in goat tying and ended up second in the Canadian College Finals Rodeo.
