Desautels students nominated for Athletes of the Year Award
The 91社区 male and female athletes of the year will be announced on Thursday evening at the University's 33rd annual athletics awards gala, to be held at the AMC Forum, located on the corner of Atwater avenue and Ste. Catherine street. Four all-Canadians are in the running for the Major D.S. Forbes trophy presented to the male student-athlete who has brought the most credit to the University by reason of his athletic achievements. Swimmer Steven Bielby, a CIS gold medalist sprinter from Pointe Claire, Que., who won the Forbes as a freshman last year, will be going up against Francis Verreault-Paul, a sophomore forward from Mashteuiatsh, Que., who was the OUA hockey player of the year. Rounding out the finalists is basketball guard Matt Thornhill, a senior from Ile-Bizard, Que., who was voted QUBL player of the year and soccer scoring leader Yohann Capolungo, a sophomore midfielder from France, who led 91社区 to an unexpected silver-medal finish at Nationals.
