The Windsor Lancers are pleased to announce that Noelle Montcalm has been named the CIS Female Track Athlete of the Year, as announced today by the CIS.
A fourth-year kinesiology major from Windsor, Montcalm won three gold medals at the OUA championships in the 60m hurdles, 300m and 4x200 relay. She added silver in the 60m sprint and led the Lancer women to their fifth conference team title in six years.
A four-time medalist at last year's CIS meet including gold in the 4x200 relay, silver in the 60 hurdles and the 300, and bronze in the 60 sprint, she is currently ranked first in CIS in the 60 hurdles and 4x200 relay, second in the 300 and third in the 60m.
In addition to her performance on the track, Montcalm is a very strong student in the Faculty of Human Kinetics as she holds an 11.5 GPA and was named a CIS Top 8 Academic All-Canadian for the 2008-09 academic year.
“Noelle is having a phenomenal season. Her win at Notre Dame in the 300m combined with her silver-medal finish in the 200m ranks her as one of the best in her event,” said Windsor head coach Dennis Fairall. “This combined with the fact she is presently the leading hurdler in CIS makes her one of the top sprinters/hurdlers of all time.”
Montcalm will look to continue her success on the track and help lead the Lancers to their second straight national championship this weekend at the St. Denis Centre. The Championships run today through Thursday. Please visit www.goLancers.ca for a complete meet schedule.
