The spring sports term at Trinity College School was filled with wonderful highlights and cherished memories, as students enjoyed the return to a more typical season afforded by loosening pandemic restrictions. Achievement, leadership and dedication in Senior School co-curricular sports were celebrated at the Spring Athletic Awards on Friday, June 10th in the Dick and Jane LeVan Theatre. Students and coaches looked back on a term that included OFSAA qualifications in Bigside boys rugby, badminton and track & field, and a CISAA championship for our Bigside girls rugby sevens team!
Among the honours presented to students at the spring awards night are the outstanding athletes of the year in each grade (with the Grade 12 award to be handed out on Speech Day). This year’s winners are:
- Paterson Trophy for Grade 9: Addy O’Grady, Brodie Reilly
- F.G. Osler Cup for Grade 10: Golden Onyekere, Emerson Mendum
- R.C.N. Wright Trophy for Grade 11: Carmella Ylagan, Eadyn Meier, Silas Hodges, Will Raenden
Bigside ties were awarded to 37 athletes and Bigside colours were earned by 49 students. Bigside ties signify an athlete’s third term of participation at the Bigside level during their TCS career. Colours are reserved for Senior (Grade 11 and 12) athletes who display respect and teamwork throughout at least four terms of Bigside athletic involvement. Click here for the full list of recipients.
