McGill University Athletics

MONTREAL -- Spencer Bromley from Surrey, B.C., and Melanie Myrand of Lachine, Que., are the McGill University athletes of the week, sponsored by Ye Olde Orchard Pub, for the period ending Sept. 27, 2015.

Bromley, a 5-foot-9, 160-pound attacker with the lacrosse Redmen, scored nine points – including eight goals – in a pair road victories last week as McGill extended their win streak to 34 consecutive games in league play. The 19-year-old economics junior tallied four times in a 13-8 conquest at Queen’s on Sept. 26, then added another four markers, with an assist, in  a 15-4 win at Ottawa the next day. He has a team-leading 15 goals in seven games and is currently tied for third place among league leaders in goals. A product of the Burnaby Mountain Selects, he graduated from Earl Marriott secondary school in Surrey.

Myrand, a 5-foot-3 distance runner on the cross-country Martlets, reached the medals podium by finishing third of 116 entries at the Western International meet in London, Ont., last Saturday. The 29-year-old post-graduate student, crossed the finish line of the five-kilometre course in 17 minutes, 41 seconds, some 15 seconds off the winner's pace. Myrand also won gold in her first meet of the season at the McGill Open in early September. She graduated from Vanier College in 2007, earned a science degree in three years from McGill in 2010 and recently returned to complete a master's degree in nursing.
