McCuaig, Capolungo named McGill athletes of the week
MONTREAL - Sarah McCuaig of Waterloo, Ont., and
Yohann Capolungo, a native of France, are the
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ athletes of the week for the period ending Oct.
31, 2010.
McCuaig, a 5-foot-10 distance runner with the
Martlets cross-country squad, finished first in a field of 57
entries, leading McGill to the Quebec university championship at
the Parc Centre de Nature in Laval, Que., Saturday. The 20-year-old
physiology sophomore completed the five-kilometre course in 18
minutes, 12 seconds, to win the race by 14 seconds. She was named
athlete of the meet and also voted by the coaches as the
conference's athlete of the year. McCuaig joined the Martlets in
2009 out of Sir John A. Macdonald secondary school in
Waterloo.
Capolungo, a speedy 5-foot-9, 165-pound midfielder
with the soccer Redmen, scored three of the team's four goals in a
pair of weekend victories that helped McGill clinch second place in
Quebec conference. The 22-year-old finance junior tallied both
markers in a key 2-1 win at UQAM on Sunday, which assured the
Redmen of finishing ahead of UQAM in the league standings.
Capolungo, a two-time conference all-star who earned all-Canadian
status last year, also netted the insurance marker in a 2-0 victory
over Concordia last Friday. He enrolled at McGill in 2008 after
graduating from the Centre National d'Enseignement à Distance in
France.
