McGill University Athletics

MONTREAL – Jorden Savoury of LaSalle, Que., and Kevin Li of Vancouver, B.C., are the McGill University athletes of the week for the period ending, Nov. 28, 2021.
 
Savoury, a 5-foot-8 sprinter with women's track and field team, set a McGill record at the Martlet Classic meet last Saturday at the Richard Tomlinson Fieldhouse, which marked the debut of the university indoor season. The 23-year-old psychology senior won the 60-metre dash in 7.61 seconds, breaking her own school record of 7.65 previously set in 2020. She finished first in the race, edging out the second-place finisher who crossed the finish line in 7.66. When Savoury initially broke the school record in 2020, it erased the mark of 7.73 that had stood for 18 years. A product of Vanier College, she will now set her sights on the RSEQ conference record of 7.31, which has stood since 2009.
 
Li, originally from Beijing, came off the bench to score a game-high 15 points in just nine minutes as first-place McGill remained undefeated through four games with a 76-62 victory in men's basketball at Laval last Friday. The 6-foot-7, 238-pound forward shot 5-for-7 from the floor and drained four of five trey attempts. A 21-year-old economics senior, he also pulled down three rebounds before fouling out. A product of West Vancouver Secondary School, he enrolled at McGill in 2018.
