McMaster University Athletics

Arguably one of the most decorated individual athletes in McMaster Marauders history, Pearo completed a four-year career with the Marauders women's cross country and track & field teams that has yet to be replicated. A two-time CIS first-team all-Canadian and three-time OUA first-team all-star, Pearo capped off her career as both the CIS and OUA cross country champion in 2010.
 
Propelling her team to medal performances for three straight seasons, Pearo helped the women's team capture a CIS silver medal (10'), a CIS bronze medal (09'), two OUA silver medals (09' - 10'), and an OUA bronze medal (08'). For her efforts, she was named McMaster Female Athlete of the Year on two occasions (09'-10' & 10'-11').
 
A champion in the classroom and in the community, Pearo was also an academic all-Canadian, and was named the 2009 OUA Female Student-Athlete Community Service Award winner. On the international stage, she represented McMaster and Team Canada at the 2010 FISU World University Cross-Country Championships placing 17^th overall.
