USC CHANGES STRUCTUREOverhaul long overdue … p.4

By Kaleigh RogersGazette Staff

After years of financial controversy,the First Nations University ofCanada has lost its federal funding.

Delegates for FNUC met lastweek with Chuck Strahl, Minister ofIndian Affairs and North AmericanDevelopment Canada, where theylearned the federal governmentwill not restore funding, startingMarch 31.

“Our government’s priorityremains [with] the students cur-rently enrolled at FNUC and we willcontinue to work with our partnersto provide students with the sup-port they need to successfully com-plete their academic year,” NinaChiarelli, director of communica-tions for the minister, said.

The federal government willcontinue to support aboriginal stu-dents through its Indian StudentSupport Program, Strahl explained.

“Unfortunately […] repeatedand ongoing efforts over the pastseveral years did not bring about thechange in accountability that Cana-dian taxpayers expect and aborigi-

nal students deserve,” he said.The funding cut follows suit with

the Saskatchewan government, whocut $5.2 million in annual grants forthe university in early February.

Located at three campusesacross Saskatchewan, FNUC wasestablished in 1976 with an aim tocombine First Nation-oriented andstandard areas of study. However, inrecent years the school has been sur-rounded by a cloud of controversy.

In 2005, the chairman of theFNUC board of governors, MorleyWatson, unexpectedly suspendedseveral senior administrators andseized hard drives with all facultyand student records. Followingthis, the fired staff alleged a conflictof interest with Watson’s concur-rent position as vice-chief for theFederation of Saskatchewan Indi-an Nations.

In 2007, the University founditself over $1 million in debt and wereput on probation by the Associationof Universities and Colleges Canada.

The AUCC lifted the probationin 2008. However, after coming up$1.2 million in the red once again,the Canadian Association of Uni-

versity Teachers voted to censurethe school.

Among all these controversies,the University also grappled withcriticism over the large size of theirboard of governors, unclear spend-ing accounts, numerous firings andindividual lawsuits.

The federal government decid-ed the University is too much of aliability to continue funding, Strahlexplained.

“It is time to focus our attentionon those aboriginal students them-selves and ensure we have moreand continued success for themgoing forward,” Strahl said.

The delegates for the Universityare hopeful they will be able to recov-er some funding commitments fromthe provincial government. GuyLonechild, chief of the FSIN, said: “Ithink the future of FNUC is opti-mistic and bright as long as we knowthat our provincial government is onside to provide its support.”

The FSIN plans to meet with theboard of governors at the Universi-ty and work together to find solu-tions and hopefully garner the sup-port of the provincial government.

Apparently “No means no,” isn’t aclear enough slogan.

The University Students’ Coun-cil is partnering up with the SexualAssault Centre of London andChanging Ways with a goal tochange attitudes regarding sexualviolence on campus.

The groups are planning to cre-ate a campus–wide education andawareness campaign, which willstart this September.

The campaign is entering itssecond stage, during which mar-keting and a strategy will be decid-ed. The program’s first stage con-sisted of setting up campus focusgroups in order to discuss bothmarketing campaigns and to deter-mine the presence of issues regard-ing sexual violence on campus.

“This will be the first of it’s kindin Canada to our knowledge,”Louise Pitre, executive director ofthe SACL, said.

The USC’s campaign is influ-enced by numerous campaigns inthe United States. However WillBortolin, vice-president campus

issues for the USC, felt this cam-paign would offer something com-pletely different: “It’s going to besomething that we’ve never seenbefore so it’s difficult to say what it’sgoing to look like.”

According to Pitre, the campaignwill not only rely on traditionalmedia such as posters, but it willalso be incorporated into Sophtraining, theatre and various mediaoutlets.

“We want it to be statementsthat are easy to remember, we wantsomething recognizable, but wewant something that fits into theculture of the University,” Pitre said.

She hoped the school’s culturewill change over time and studentswill be able to teach each otherthese new attitudes.

“It is about shifting an entireculture, it’s about shifting sexist atti-tudes and shifting this notion thatwomen are responsible for beingraped and sexually assaulted,” Pitreexplained. “It is also about creatingsustainable change and it is alsoabout creating an initiative that isowned by the students.”

THE BEST STUDENT EXPERIENCE TWO YEARS RUNNING. Warm weather left students rushing to find ways to quench their thirst on and off campus during yesterday’s St. Patrick’s Dayfestivities.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY

Western student becomes hotshot with Cool Moose CreameryOne Western student is receivingkudos for his hot results from his icecreamery.

Greig Perantinos, third-year Iveystudent, has been named the stu-dent entrepreneur regional cham-pion by charitable organizationAdvancing Canadian Entrepre-neurship.

Perantinos received the awardfor his ice cream shop, Cool MooseCreamery, which opened two sum-mers ago in Tottenham. Perantinosnoted he felt the need to open thestore after having realized Totten-ham had no ice cream shop duringthe summer.

Cool Moose has gained a repu-tation for its charitable works. Dur-ing the summer Perantinosarranges ice cream block partieswhere local musicians play in frontof the store, and one dollar fromevery ice cream cone bought isdonated to charity.

“We also sometimes sell ‘doggiebones,’” Perantinos said. “We sellthem for a dollar, and of that dollar,we donate 50 cents to the Humanesociety.”

After the success of Cool Moosein Tottenham, Perantinos was ableto open a second store in Allistonlast summer. When he is unable tomonitor the two locations, Peranti-nos’ family steps in to help.

“I also have lots of staff — I’vehired a number of university stu-dents, some high school studentsand I go back and forth all the timebetween the two,” Perantinos said.

Perantinos will move on to thefinal round of the ACE NationalExposition in Calgary in May, and ifhe wins, he will be the recipient of$10,000. While the cash prize wouldadmittedly help Perantinos expandhis business, he plans to developCool Moose no matter the out-come.

“Depending on how well I do inthe summer, there’s lots of oppor-tunity for growth that I see,” Peran-tinos said.

Nursing options in RwandaThe recent graduation of the firstclass of nursing students fromRwanda’s Kigali Health Institutemarked the success of efforts fromWestern faculty and staff.

The program, organized byDavid Cechett, professor of anato-my and cell biology at Western,works to improve Rwanda’s healthcare system by educating nurseswithin the country.

“The bachelor of science innursing program has been devel-oped and uses a case-based cur-riculum. Students have also beenencouraged to develop literacysearching skills in order to be pre-pared for class,” Carroll Iwasiw,professor of nursing at Western,said.

“We’ve also provided books,helped with clinical teaching andhelped to develop some courses foranother program, a bachelor innursing education to prepare nurs-es to be nursing teachers.”

The e-learning program hasalso been an important develop-ment within the program. Headedby Cynthia Kenyon, Western pro-fessor of paediatrics, e-learningaddresses the problem of limitedresources, enabling students tolearn on their own.

“Developing online resourcesprovides the opportunity for self-directed learning online, with infor-mation that they can access them-selves […] this adds anotherdimension to their learning so thatthey’re not just memorizing lecturenotes,” Kenyon said.

According to Iwasiw, there areonly 1,500 nurses in Rwanda witha population of over eight mil-lion.

“One class of nurses won’tchange the system, but over time, Ibelieve that there will be greateremphasis [on] health promotion,health maintenance and diseaseprevention,” Iwasiw added.

Over 1,000 students at the Universi-ty of Windsor may be forced torewrite a midterm after allegationsof cheating arose.

A preliminary investigation bythe University’s Academic IntegrityOffice revealed some studentsfailed lecture questions but scoredalmost perfect on textbook ques-tions, according to a report by theWindsor Star.

Clayton Smith, vice-provost ofstudents and registrar at U of W,said only one third of the exam wasruled valid.

The University did not confirmthe specifics regarding the coursefor which the alleged cheating tookplace.

However, according to the Star,it was a first-year course called

“Introduction to Psychology as aSocial Science,” taught by KennethCramer. A course outline indicatedthe midterm was written on Feb. 26.

Smith explained students weregiven two options to consider with-in a two-week period. They couldeither go to class and write areplacement exam in two weeks’time, or they could pass the weightof the midterm to the end of theyear, making their final exam worth60 per cent instead of 40 per cent.

As of now, the AIO is investigat-ing who committed the act of mis-conduct in this issue.

“As soon as we have found thetransgressors, the [appropriate pro-cedures] will be enforced,” Smithpromised.

According to the University’spolicy on honesty and plagiarism, aconfirmed incident of plagiarismcould result in a sanction ranging

from a verbal warning to expulsionfrom the University.

Similar practices are in place atWestern: “Western puts a high pre-mium on academic integrity […]We want a level playing-field forstudents,” Fred Longstaffe, West-ern’s vice-president academic, said.“For that reason, a lot of professorsat Western use Turnitin, forinstance. There is no unfair advan-tage for those who want to abusethe system.”

“I don’t feel it’s specifically a stu-dent problem,” Bortolin said. “It’s aproblem in our age group.”

Bortolin and Pitre agreed part ofthe campaign’s focus will be endingthe role of the bystander.

“I think that what happens iswe’re pressured by our peers andwe don’t want to get involved. So it’sabout shifting that attitude, thatyou don’t have to be a bystander,that there are ways to act and tocreate a different culture on cam-pus and to prevent sexual violence,”Pitre explained. “It’s about empow-ering those guys who know this isnot okay.”

Bortolin felt verbal harassmentneeded to be curbed as well.

“Verbal sexual harassment needsto be recognized as sexual violence,”he said. “[These actions] still have areally negative impact on the feelingof safety on our campus.”

“My personal hope is that it issomething more than presentinginformation, something thatchanges students’ perspectives in away that lasts long beyond the endof this project, and long beyondtheir time at Western,” Scott Kerr,VP-elect for campus issues, said.

“We’re very reactive when itcomes to sexual violence — maybebecause we don’t want to believesomething so horrible can actuallyhappen, until it does — and weneed to become more proactive,”Kerr added.

Pitre hoped for this two-yearprogram to become a model forother schools: “Our hope is thatthat will be certainly a provincialmodel and we’re just in the processof starting to build some relation-ships with other universities.”

With St. Patrick’s Day bringing a cornucopia of alcohol tothe masses, the Gazette decided some hangover advicewould be a welcome present to our loyal readers — espe-cially those who partied a little bit too hard yesterday.

We’ve all been there: after a night where your friendsswear they saw you trying to make out with a telephonepole you end up waking up on your bedroom floor feelinglike your head is about four sizes too big.

Yes, you’re suffering from a hangover and want to getrid of that feeling as quickly as possible.

Sadly, prevention — the most effective hangover cure– won’t help you now. While eating a hearty meal, coatingyour stomach with castor oil or milk, and drinking a cou-ple of gallons of water may have done wonders to avoid-ing a hangover, the fact you’re in that state now indicatessuch measures are far too late.

Well first thing’s first: don’t sulk. Everyone getshangovers (a fact any student journalist can attest to).If you don’t have anything to do then celebrate! Drinksome water and either go back to sleep or spend therest of the day developing a deeper appreciation forthe Jonas brothers’ television show from the comfortof your old couch.

However, in the event your boss doesn’t believe yousuddenly came down with the 24-hour flu the day afterSt. Paddy’s, don’t panic. The biggest issue facing the hun-gover is the daunting task of quieting the beast ragingthrough their mind. This headache is normally caused bya combination of a lack of vitamins and dehydration.

While some of our editors suggested a little hanky-panky to get the blood flowing early in the morning,exercise will accomplish the same task. If there’s ever aday when drinking eight glasses of water is key, it’s theday you’re suffering from a hangover. To be even moreefficient, attempt to re-hydrate by immersing yourselfunder water – if you’ve worked up a sweat from exerciseor other activities, you can get clean and re-hydratesimultaneously.

The next important step is to start restoring vita-mins. While a multivitamin can help, it’s best to getsome food on your stomach. Bananas and other fruitsare an excellent way to regain some vitamins, but agreasy meal of bacon and eggs will leave you feelingmuch better after the dust settles.

If you’re planning on hitting up one of London’s manygreat greasy spoon restaurants – Campus Hi-Fi is a peren-nial favourite – then try walking to your next location. Thefresh air will do wonders for your mood and can also stopyou from feeling queasy.

The best thing about being hungover after St. Paddy’sis you’re not alone. Campus-wide, all students will besharing in your pain. While you stumble out of yourhomes searching for greasy food, remember one thing —it was worth it.

The Gazette is owned and published by the University Students’ Council.

On Tuesday, March 16, 2010, the Univer-sity Students’ Council held a special ses-sion of the council in order to debatewhether the organization should changeits entire structure of governance. Thevote passed unanimously.

Finally.Now I can already feel the average

reader squirming on the inside, as theycomprehend the first paragraph. “USC?Student governmental policy? I’m stillhungover from St. Paddy’s,” you say.

Well bear with me — the meaning ofthis change in governance will hopefullymean the student populace as a wholeactually gives two bits about what theirelected representatives are doing. I’m notsaying students who aren’t politicallyinterested are suddenly going to throwthemselves at the USC with recklessabandon, but one look at the size of var-ious political clubs on campus showspotential.

Still with me? Good. I’ve covered the USC for several years

for the Gazette, and over that time themain criticism I’ve had for the organiza-tion has been how absolutely ineffectiveit is.

As it stands, your average USC coun-cillor does not make more than a tokeneffort to communicate with fellowundergraduates. This often meant coun-cillors – who were elected to representstudents – snooze their way throughmeetings and let the executive – who areinternally elected by council – dictate theagenda.

Occasionally, you would see a coun-cillor bring forward a motion – Fred Wuand the eventual banning of cigaretteadvertising from Mustang Alley is onecase – but these examples were few and

far between. These motions also had theadded effect of normally putting thecouncil and the executive at odds.

While I always enjoyed sitting backwith popcorn and watching the sparks flyduring meetings, part of me rememberedthis organization collects hundreds ofthousands in student fees every year. Atthat point the dysfunction switched frombeing amusing to aggravating.

Thankfully, with the new plans for theUSC on their way to being implemented,many of these problems can be over-come.

First of all, in the new USC the execu-tive will no longer be able to bringmotions towards council – a change thatwill hopefully end the practice of theexecutive doing everything with councilfollowing blindly. While it may have beenironic to see vice president universityaffairs Dan Moulton argue to end thepractice he has taken so much advantageof over the past year, at least there was arecognition on the part of this year’sexecutive that things had to change.

The next change, and certainly thebiggest, is the decision to create a strongseparation of powers: the general coun-cil will be given much more power toupdate policies, bylaws and set the direc-

tion of the USC’s “big picture.” Mean-while, the executive will be much morefocused on their portfolios and day-to-day operations – a change that makesmuch more sense considering the annu-al turnover of the executive.

Finally, and most controversially,there will be an “external” board of direc-tors, which will take on responsibilitieslike recommending the approval of thebudget and having the authority to bor-row funds and manage the USC’s invest-ments. They’ll also stick around for morethan a year – so they have time to seesome of their projects through.

What all this does, in effect, is makethe USC function properly. The council,elected by students, legislates on theirpeers’ behalf. The executive takes care ofthe mundane day-to-day stuff, and wehave a group of nine ex-Western stu-dents (10 years removed) who can takecare of the long-term stuff.

Of course, it’s too early to start layingaccolades at the feet of the USC. As muchas I am hopeful this governance changewill turn the organization into one stu-dents actually care about, I also havecomplete faith the USC will find someway to screw this change up. Here’s hop-ing they prove me wrong.

USC trying to shake things upCouncil to adopt policies changing governance structure

Hayes’d &ConfusedMike HayesSenior Editor

The Gazette looks back this week to 1999 when London Police were on their wayto charging the individual responsible for planting an explosive device at T.J. Bax-ter’s Bar and Grill.

One hundred and seventy people were on the premises of the bar on Rich-mond Row at the time of the explosion on April 11, 1998. The bomb was plantedin the men’s washroom and caused approximately $500,000 worth of damage andinjured five people.

The year–long investigation that followed included 15 forensic investigators, sixassigned officers and over 700 tips and leads.

“There weren’t a lot of fingerprints or that kind of evidence because of that kindof explosion,” Trevor Hinds, manager of T.J. Baxter’s said at the time. “I’m actual-ly surprised they found suspects this fast.”

Remember MeDirected by: Allen CoulterStarring: Robert Pattinson, Emiliede Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, ChrisCooper

If you think your life is miserable,follow Robert Pattinson’s characterfor a couple hours in Remember Me.

Taking place in New York City,Remember Me presents the story ofa 21-year-old boy struggling to sur-vive, and a girl who gives him arefreshing breath of air.

Public reception of the film hasbeen largely negative for its highlycontroversial twist ending, butpotential viewers shouldn’t beswayed by those opinions. Remem-ber Me is specifically aimed at col-lege students who can empathizewith Pattinson’s character, and thefilm touches upon the feeling of

sadness viewers can undoubtedlyrelate to.

Tyler Hawkins (Pattinson) is ajaded young man who approacheslife with skepticism and hostili-ty. His brother’s suicide caused hisparents to divorce and Tyler bearsthe weight of their separation inorder to shield his innocentyounger sister Caroline (RubyJerins). He holds particular resent-ment towards his cold, workaholicfather (Brosnan), and feels no onewill ever be able to relate to his lossand loneliness.

When Tyler mouths off to apoliceman (Cooper) after gettinginvolved in a street fight, he and hisfriend are subject to unnecessarybrutality. After their release from anight in jail, the pair discovers thecop has an attractive daughter —Tyler decides to pursue her as anact of revenge.

As a typical romance wouldunfold, Tyler unexpectedly finds lovein Ally (de Ravin). She has reason to

be angry at the world, but choosesto approach life with a positivespontaneity. Unlike most movies ofthis genre, the dialogue between thetwo seems natural, which adds tothe film’s authenticity as a represen-tation of college lifestyle.

Remember Me is a heavy film thatfits in as many upsetting situationsa writer could fit in a 113-minutefilm. Many reviews have criticizedthe never-ending misfortunes, but itcan be argued these tragedies addtruth to the film. The characters’ sadcircumstances are interwoven toallude that depression is oftenshared, and that people can findsupport and comfort in each other.

Pattinson’s raw talent as an actoris surprising. A far cry from the dullEdward Cullen in the Twilightseries, Pattinson transforms Tylerinto an authentic character withrealistic emotions. He is magneticon screen and Remember Meproves his career is not limited tohis vampire saga.

De Ravin is a familiar face for allLost fans, and viewers will not bedisappointed by her perfor-mance. Her strenuous role as Allydemonstrates she is capable ofmore than television fluff. Theactress may want to work on pro-nunciations, though, seeing as herAustralian accent occasionally popsout during angry scenes.

Remember Me has received a lotof flack for its ending — but beforelooking at the numerous online dis-cussions that spoil it, watch themovie first to see if the twist worksfor you. It will most likely resonatemore with our generation than witholder viewers.

lem.”The Mustangs definitely seemed

to lose focus when a speculativeshot from defenceman AndreJoanisse beat goaltender KeyvanHunt.

“He just shot it and it somehowwent in. We changed the tempo atthat point,” Laporte said.

“I called a timeout and told myplayers to put the puck deep, puttraffic in front and challenge theirdefence. Their defence was playingvery nervously near the end. Wealso put more pucks at the netbecause their goalie is not alwaysgood and consistent.”

Martin echoed that sentiment.“Keyvan played really well for us

until the last two minutes. But theirwere also five other guys on the icethat were at fault,” he said.

The Patriotes followed Laporte’sinstructions and it paid off just 20seconds later, as Western failed to

clear the zone, giving Jean-Sebastien Breton the chance to tiethe game.

“They just kept their pressure onand put everything on net. We hadchances to clear it and Keyvan losthis stick and everything just fellapart,” Martin said.

“We thought we would have togo to overtime at this point,”Laporte said. “We didn’t think wecould score another goal.”

The relentless pressure paid off

one more time, however, whenOlivier Donovan scored the winnerjust 11 seconds after tying the game.

Though Western would pressurethe Patriotes goal in the finalminute, it would not be enough.

While the loss ended the team’sseason, it also served as the finaltime four players would wear theMustangs jersey. Martin, forwardsPatrick Ouellet and Mike Sharp anddefenceman Ryan Martinelli all fin-ished their university hockeycareers on Saturday night.

“I have great memories of mycareer at Western. I wouldn’t tradeit for anything,” Martin said.

According to Singer, the loss ofthose four players will be felt nextseason in the dressing room.

“They are great guys and greatleaders. You can look at the statis-tics and those are important, buthaving good people and good lead-ers is tough to replace. They’vegiven everything they have to thisprogram,” he said.

Collapse at le ColiséeMustangs give up 3 goalsin 31 seconds, blow berthin national tournamentBy Daniel Da SilvaGazette Staff

One minute and 31 seconds.That was how long the Western

Mustangs men’s hockey team need-ed to keep the Université du Que-bec à Trois-Rivières Patriotes at bayon Saturday night.

It was also the differencebetween a second consecutiveberth at the national champi-onships and an early trip home forthe Mustangs.

“One minute we are going tonationals and then 31 seconds later,we’re not,” Mustangs head coachClarke Singer said.

Those 31 seconds saw the Patri-otes score three consecutive goalsto overcome a two-goal deficit andtake the game 5-4.

“It was a difficult 31 seconds andI hope to never have to coach underthose circumstances again,” Singeradded.

Even the winning coach wasstunned by the sudden turn ofevents.

“I said to Clarke after the game‘Wow. I can’t even understand howyou must be feeling right now.’ In 25years as a coach, that’s the first timeI’ve seen that happen,” UQTRcoach Jacques Laporte said.

With the victory, the Patriotestake home the Ontario University

Athletics bronze medal and a berthat the Canadian InteruniversitySport championships. The Mus-tangs, on the other hand, are left towonder what might have been.

“Overall it was a very successfulseason,” Mustangs captain LucMartin said. “But this was very dis-appointing. We all expected tomake it [back to nationals].”

The game was especially disap-pointing for Western consideringtheir quick start. The game was lessthan four minutes old when wingerKyle Lamb opened the scoring.

Sophomore stars Kevin Bakerand Keaton Turkiewicz added to thelead, putting the Mustangs up 3-0with only 15 minutes played.

“We were playing really well. Theguys did a great job of following thegame plan,” Singer said. “We wereeven good on special teams.”

Singer was referring toTurkiewicz’s goal with the man-advantage. Prior to Saturday’s gamethe Mustangs had struggled on thepower play. In seven playoff games,the team was a paltry three for 36on the power play, but managed toscore twice on five opportunitiesagainst UQTR.

“We changed a couple of guysaround just to get some fresh facestogether and they meshed at theperfect time,” Martin said.

Though forward Felix Petit

would get the Patriotes on theboard with a power play marker,the Mustangs entered the firstintermission with a hard-earnedtwo-goal lead.

“We knew coming in we had toplay well defensively. In the firstperiod, it wasn’t like that,” Laportesaid. “However, in the second andthird period, we put more pressure

on them.”The increased intensity on the

Patriotes’ bench led to a moreclosely contested second period.However, the game would not seeanother goal until the third period.Defenceman David Chabot-Maltaispulled UQTR to within a goal,before Turkiewicz tallied his secondpower play goal of the game.

“We had a 4-2 lead in theirbuilding. UQTR had the mostpoints in the OUA this season. Wewere happy at this point,” Singersaid.

“At that point, everyone thoughtwe were going to nationals,” Martinsaid. “Maybe that was the prob-

CIS TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Both Mustang sides come home with bronzeBy Justin DuckettGazette Staff

After three days of competition, theWestern Mustangs men’s andwomen’s track and field teamsexceeded expectations by captur-ing third place at nationals.

The Canadian InteruniversitySports championship took place onMarch 11-13, with athletes from allacross Canada meeting at the St.Denis Centre in Windsor to com-pete.

The men finished with 76points, only 10 points back of first-place Guelph, while the women fin-ished with 63 points.

“I’m very satisfied with bothteams’ results,” Western head coachVickie Croley said. “Going into themeet the men were predicted toscore 68 points and ended up with76. The women finished with 63, butwe were ranked fourth and finishedthird so it was a positive outcome.”

The men’s and women’s teams’received outstanding performancesfrom Jen Cotten, who lead thewomen with five medals, whileJason Kerr medaled in all four of hisraces to lead the men.

“Cotten capped off an amazing

university career in a big way.She not only improved her placingin individual events, but she alsoelevated her level of performance,”Croley said.

Croley was also pleased withKerr’s performance.

“He established himself as oneof Western’s all-time best sprinters,contesting the 60m, 300m, 4x200m,4x400m, and medaling in all events.A feat never before accomplished inour great history of sprinters,” shesaid.

Before the events began onThursday, Cotten was named thewomen’s top field athlete of the yearby the CIS. She proved the CIS did-n’t make a mistake, placing first inthe women’s pentathlon. Her per-formance resulted in Western beingtied with York and Sherbrooke forfirst after the day’s events.

“It was an honour to receive thataward,” Cotten said. “Confidence isimportant in this sport and beingrecognized for performing well inthe past is very uplifting.”

Day two saw many more strongperformances by Western athletes.Cotten placed second in the 60mhurdles and first in the women’slong jump. Fifth-year jumperAndrew Judge placed second in thelong jump for the men’s team, whileKerr added another third place fin-ish in the 300m.

“I’m happy and proud of all ofmy performances, as well as ourteam accomplishments,” Kerr said.“I knew that individually I wasgoing to perform at a much higher

level than I had been at previousmeets this year.”

Heading into the final day ofcompetition, both Western teamswere optimistic of their chances atplacing well.

“On the men’s side we were stillthinking we had a shot at the teamtitle,” Croley said. “Our womenwere also excited knowing that theday began with four women com-peting in the triple jump followedby two relay finals.”

The men’s and women’s relayteams both came through on thefinal day. The women captured twomore third-place finishes, while themen came first in the 4x400m andsecond in the 4x200m.

“Given the results, we were thebest relay program in the country,and the only school that coveredthe podium in every single men’ssprint event,” Kerr said.

“Athletes will now take two tothree weeks off and then starttraining for the summer sea-son. The more they do this, the bet-ter next year’s team will be,” Croleysaid. “For some like Cotten andKerr, they will take the steps to con-tinue to train to reach the next levelin the sport.”
