Celebrating a local athlete: Sophia Howell Earns World Cup Bronze in San Pedro de la Paz

Today, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate Sophia Howell, an Airdrie athlete we are honored — and proud — to sponsor, as she achieved a milestone moment on the international stage: a third-place finish at the World Triathlon Cup in San Pedro de la Paz, Chile.

A Performance That Turned Heads

Competing against some of the strongest triathletes from around the world, Sophia delivered a race that stood out from start to finish. Known for her commanding swim and calm, focused approach to competition, she surged through the course with confidence and consistency.

Her powerful start in the water set up a strong lead group, and she held her own through the bike and run to secure a well-earned spot on the podium.

A Proud Moment for Airdrie

Watching an athlete from our own community succeed at this level is inspiring for everyone here at home. Sophia’s achievement reflects her years of dedication, disciplined training, and the resilience required to compete under pressure.

She represents Airdrie with pride, and her success is a reminder of just how far passion and hard work can take you.

Proud to Stand Behind Her Journey

Being able to sponsor Sophia and play even a small part in her journey is something we’re truly proud of.
Her World Cup podium is more than a medal — it’s a symbol of what’s possible when you believe in your potential and chase it relentlessly.

From all of us at McKee Homes: Congratulations, Sophia — your determination and spirit make our entire community proud.
