ST. LAWRENCE-CORNWALL 2011-12 ATHLETIC AWARDS

CORNWALL, Ont. - St. Lawrence College Athletics & Recreation honoured its student athletes at a special ceremony at the Ramada Inn & Conference Centre on Wednesday, April 4 and Sarah Tyrrell and Mathew Milberry took home two of the biggest awards.
 
Tyrrell, a nursing student from Vancouver, B.C. took home the Female Athlete of the Year award. She was an exceptional player on the Sharks women's indoor soccer team; a forward who was counted on to provide both scoring and veteran leadership. Her efforts helped the Sharks remain as one of the most competitive teams in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association in 2011-2012. Tyrrell previously played for the Concordia University Stingers varsity soccer team and her teammates benefitted from the experience she brought to the club.
 
Milberry, a business student from Halifax, N.S., was named the Male Athlete of the Year. He was one of the top scorers on the Sharks men's hockey team, which qualified for the Challenge Cup provincial championship tournament for the second straight year. Milberry also brought a veteran presence to the Sharks, as he previously played for the Royal Military College Paladins men's hockey team.
 
The Student Union Academic and Athletic Excellence Awards went to Adam Home-Cutler and Carolina Kavan. The award is presented to the male and female athlete at the school with the highest grade point average, while competing in at least one sport. Home-Cutler, a nursing student from Ottawa, was a member of the Sharks cross country and men's indoor soccer teams. Kavan, a business student originally from Caracas, Venezuela, was a member of the Sharks women's indoor soccer team.
 
The Brown's Fine Food Services Inc. Award went to Christina Russell. The award recognizes a student who has contributed to improving the quality of student life on campus, while main­taining good grades.
 
The awards banquet came at the end of a successful season for SLC Cornwall Athletics, which saw its women's hockey team win three tournaments and its men's hockey team qualify for the provincial championship tournament, among other highlights.
 
"This was an incredible year for SLC Athletics," said Jacquie Cartwright, the Athletic and Student Life Officer for St. Lawrence College Cornwall. "Matt, Sarah, Adam, Carolina and Christina represent just a few of the people who have contributed to the success of our athletic programs in 2011-2012."
