TEXT OF THE SPEECH GIVEN FOR THIS AWARD

This award was created by Nick Katerinakis, a Vanier alumni, dual sport athlete and one of the members of our National Championship winning basketball team in 1987. Nick is now a successful lawyer living in Toronto and wanted to give something back to the program that he felt he had gained so much from, so he has pledged a $300 annual donation to be awarded to a student athlete who is able to combine playing for two teams while maintaining their academic eligibility.

This year’s recipient played on two sports teams and made her presence felt on both of them. She was a member of both the rugby and flag football team where she was declared the most improved player for both teams. She also did well in school despite this two team commitment as the Social science law and society major successfully passes 8 courses in the fall semester.

This year’s recipient of the Alumni Dual Sport Award is SHERA ROBINSON.
