The 31-year-old has been very focused on her singing career for about the past half decade. She never thought she would get the call to become a member of the Prince Albert Sports Hall of Fame.
“I was so shocked,” said Lehner. “It was such an exciting phone call to get.
“I’ve been retired for five years now. I felt like all of my track accomplishments had kind of run their course. It was super exciting to be getting that call and to be recognized in my home town.
“Immediately, it just brought back a lot of really good memories of my sport days and growing up and competing and training in Prince Albert. I feel very honoured to be included in this year’s class.”
Starting in the sport at age 12, Lehner would become one of the most decorated athletes to come out of track and field in Prince Albert. While attending St. Mary High School, Lehner won gold in every discipline she entered in taking part in the Prince Albert High School City Championships and the North Central District Championships. Her success came in the 100-metre and 200-metre races, high jump, long jump and 80-metre hurdles.
