Nordic
Ski Team Captain Named OUA Athlete of the Week
Trent
Excalibur Nordic Ski team captain Stephen Hart earned gold in two
races at the January 17 and 18 Ontario University Athletics (OUA)
Cup in Deep River, Ontario, and for his accomplishments, has been
named Ontario University Athletic (OUA) "Male Athlete of the
Week." Mr. Hart, a Peterborough native, came in first in both
the 7.5-kilometre Skate (20:10), and the 10-kilometre Classic (35:07).
The OUA Male and
Female athlete of the week distinction goes to the woman and man who
excelled athletically over the week in all competitions. The title
is a great honour; competition is stiff as only one woman and one man
are selected from all 18 competing Ontario Universities in all sports
each week. This is the second time Trent has been honoured by the OUA
this year, as rower Peter Van Roojen was chosen as "Male Athlete
of the Week" for his outstanding achievement in the fall.
"It was a good
weekend for me," said Mr. Hart. "Every competing university
in Ontario was at the OUA Cup, and it's one of the bigger races of
the season for university athletes, so it's great to know where I sit
compared to the rest of the competition." Hart is currently undefeated
in OUA action this season.
Also competing for
Trent was Peter Braul, 14th (classic), 17th (skate), and on the women's
side, Adrienne Mason, 15th (skate), 27th (classic), and Carly Moran,
40th (skate), and 43rd (classic). Next competition for Trent is the
OUA Championships in Sudbury February 7 and 8.
