Laurie Kern
Laurie Kern (born 6 February 1957) is a Canadian female former track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw. She was a bronze medallist at the 1978 Commonwealth Games, held in Canada, and the winner at the Liberty Bell Classic in 1980 (an event held as an alternative to the Olympics due to a boycott). She was a three-time national javelin champion.

Raised in Richmond, British Columbia, she took part in javelin from a young age, breaking all club records at the local Kajaks track and field club.

She twice represented Canada at the Pan American Games, finishing fourth at both the 1975 and 1979 events.
