Coach Lehman is thrilled that Thompson has committed to the Tigers for the 2026-27 season!

"We are excited to add Adam to our cross country and endurance group. As the current New Brunswick high school provincial cross country champion, Adam has proven that he can perform in big races. He will provide consistency and depth to our group right away and we expect him to develop into an integral part of our program in the future. "

Thompson delivered standout performances across multiple distances this season, highlighted by personal bests at nationals (Feb. 27–March 1), clocking 8:58.54 in the 3000m and 4:13.01 in the 1500m, and gold at the SSNB Cross Country Provincials, winning the 5K in an impressive time of 15:37.50.

"The Tigers have a magic in their love for the work of running, and are great personalities. There's nowhere I'd rather grow as a runner than in the company of these fantastic athletes and coaches. I can't wait to get started," says Thompson.
