Athletic Awards wind up year 

Director of Recreation and Athletics Katie Sheahan with Male Athlete of the Year Damian Buckley, who was described as the heart and soul of the Stingers basketball team. Despite missing most of the pre-season with a serious knee injury, Buckley performed at an exceptionally high level and carried a big extra load because of the injuries suffered by his teammates. Damian was the Concordia male athlete of the week seven times this year. He was a Quebec conference first team all-star and a second team all-Canadian. Magnifying glass

There were tears and cheers at the Centre Mont-Royal on April 5, when the annual awards were presented to outstanding student athletes.

President's Academic Awards were presented to Fanny Berthiaume, of the women's soccer team, and Tyler Marghetis, of the wrestling team, as student athletes who successfully combined a high GPA and athletic achievement.

The Marvin Cooper Award, given for overcoming adversity, went to fourth-year linebacker Darnell Danglade, who underwent extensive surgery and physiotherapy.

Jared Book, of The Concordian student newspaper and Canadian University Press, was recognized for his professionalism, objectivity and humour.

Members of the Spirit Team were given a Director’s Shield for their lively efforts to enhance the excitement at Stinger events. They provide the in-game entertainment at all hockey, basketball and football games, as well as appearing at the Shuffle and Raise a Reader.

Female Athlete of the Year Sydney Theriault addresses the crowd. She played rugby for the Stingers for four years. She reached all-Canadian status in 2006, and took over as captain of the team. In 2007, her commitment to conditioning and her vision of the field had her dominating the Quebec conference. She missed the last two games of the season because of injuries, but returned for the playoffs, and led the Stingers to their first Quebec championship in 10 years. Then it was off to the nationals, where Concordia finished fifth and Theriault was named to the 2007 all-Canadian team. Magnifying glass
