McGill athletes win 16 awards at Quebec Foundation awards gala
MONTREAL – A record number of student-athletes from McGill
University have won third-party financial awards, often referred to
as "athletic scholarships", from the Quebec Foundation for
University Sports. McGill received 16 awards this year -- to match
a single-season school best previously set in 1989 -- from the
Foundation, which recentyl shelled out a record 76 bursaries worth
$146,500 to student-athletes from eight universities.
Since the Quebec Foundation awards were initiated in 1983, McGill
athletes, coaches and teams have garnered 206 awards totaling
$383,500.
Top kudos went to the McGill women’s hockey squad, the defending
CIS champions, which captured two major categories, including team
of the year and coach of the year (Peter Smith).
In addition, four members of the hockey Martlets received
bursaries, led by freshman Marie-Andree Leclerc-Auger, a
high-scoring forward from Sherbrooke, Que., who won a $6,000
recruitment bursary. Junior netminder Charline Labonté, an Olympian
from Boisbriand, Que., was handed an athletic excellence award for
$1,500.
Identical athletic awards were also presented to junior rearguard
Catherine Ward, a recent addition to the national team who hails
from Town of Mount Royal, Que., plus forward Vanessa Davidson, a
senior from Kirkland, Que.
McGill ended up with a school record eight recruitment bursaries,
including Anneth Him-Lazarenko of St. Dorothée, Que., a
highly-prized basketball recruit out of Vanier College who received
$6,000.
Rounding out the recruitment awards was volleyball’s Émilie Kyte
($3,000) of Ottawa, and soccer’s Laura Gibson ($3,000) of
Bloomington, Ont., plus three freshmen from the hockey Redmen –
forward Alexandre Picard-Hooper ($3,000) of Boucherville, Que.,
defenceman Marc-André Dorion ($2,000) of St. Hubert, Que., and
goaltender Kevin Desfossés ($3,000) of Beauport, Que.
Three others McGill veterans also pocketed some cash, including
football players Anthony Lukca of St. Laurent, Que., who earned an
Alouettes Gildan leadership award worth $1,750, plus receiver
Charles-Antoine Sinotte of Trois-Rivières, who received both
Academic and Athletic excellence awards from the Alouettes,
totaling $3,000. Vvolleyball’s Jennifer Thomson, an all-Canadian
power-hitter from Rosemere, Que., received a combined total of
$3,250 for winning a Molson Foundation academic with a Quebec
Government athletic excellence bursary.
