MONTREAL –
Caroline Pfister of Sherbrooke, Que., and
Adam Gordon of Dollard des Ormeaux, Que., are the McGill University athletes of the week, sponsored by Ye Olde Orchard Pub & Grill, for the period ending Sept. 30, 2012.
Pfister, a 20-year-old architecture freshman on the women's cross-country running team, finished first of 98 entries as the Martlets captured the Vert & Or Open meet in Sherbrooke on Saturday. The 5-foot-3 distance specialist, who has represented Canada at several international age-class competitions, completed the four-kilometre race in at 14 minutes, 29 seconds, finishing 14 seconds ahead of her next closest competitor, teammate Jessica Porfilio. Pfister joined the Martlets this fall after graduating from College de Sherbrooke.
Gordon, a fifth-year centrefielder and designated-hitter with the Redmen baseball team, went 5-for-10 at the plate with three walks, five runs batted in, five runs scored, a pair of doubles and a homerun in three games, two of them come-from-behind victories by McGill. The 6-foot-1, 198-pound slugger is a 23-year-old masters student in mechanical engineering who joined the Redmen in 2008 after graduating from John Abbott College.
Both athletes will receive a gift certificate from Ye Olde Orchard Pub.
