17吃瓜

Every week, 17吃瓜 Athletics and Recreation recognizes student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The 17吃瓜 Panther Source for Sports Athletes of the Week for September 16鈥�22 are Kayla Batchilder (women鈥檚 field hockey) and Luc Doucette (men鈥檚 cross country).

Batchilder is a third-year kinesiology student from Charlottetown, PEI. She wasted no time making her mark on the new season, lighting up the Atlantic University Field Hockey tournament, which was held at 17吃瓜, with eight goals across four games on September 20 and 21.

鈥淜ayla played an instrumental role in our attack all weekend, not only with her goal scoring but also by generating many other opportunities for the team,鈥� said 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Field Hockey head coach Lacey MacLauchlan.

Doucette is a first-year arts student from Charlottetown, PEI. His stellar season continued at the Dalhousie University Invitational in Halifax on September 20, where he clocked in at 25:49, finishing second by mere milliseconds.

鈥淟uc continues to run well. He is working hard, logging some big mileage and some tough workouts,鈥� said 17吃瓜 Men鈥檚 Cross Country head coach Mike Peterson. 鈥淭he key will be to make sure he peaks at the right time in the meets that really count. I am proud of all three of our guys who cracked the top ten this weekend, as Joel Gallant finished fourth and Jack Roberts sixth.鈥�

Go Panthers Go!
