17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Sarah MacVarish (women鈥檚 soccer) and Lee Wesselius (cross country), the 17吃瓜 Panther Subway Athletes of the week for September 11鈥�17!

Sarah MacVarish is a second-year forward from Stratford, PEI, and a Bachelor of Arts student at 17吃瓜. MacVarish scored in each of 17吃瓜鈥檚 games over the weekend. 鈥淪arah鈥檚 speed, strength, and power proved to be too much for both defences,鈥� said coach Graeme McDonald. 鈥淪arah always has a positive attitude鈥攕he gives her all every time she is on the field and takes pride in wearing the panther jersey.鈥�

Lee Wesselius is a second-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student from River Glade, New Brunswick and a member of the cross country team. Wesselius finished second place out of 57 runners in the eight-kilometre race at UNB/STU Invitational in Fredericton. He had an outstanding run against the top university runners in the AUS, leading the Panthers to their best ever finish in a conference meet. 鈥淲hile Lee鈥檚 individual performance was impressive,鈥� said coach Colin MacAdam, 鈥渉is hard work and leadership has had a positive effect on his teammates, who all performed personal bests or very close to personal bests. A very worthy athlete of the week selection.鈥�
