INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / March 31, 1992

 

Racqueteers net medals, wrestlers champs too

 

 

 

 

 

Douglas College’s Chantal
Jobin won gold at the Canadian
College Athletic Association
championships in Ottawa
earlier this month.

The Douglas College badminton
team recently did something few
Westerners have accomplished for

years; they came back from
Ottawa with gold and silver in
their pockets.

Co-captain Chantal Jobin led
the way with a gold-medal win-
ning performance as Royals
captured four medals at the CCAA
National Badminton Champion-
ships in Ottawa on March 14.

Douglas College represented
B.C. in all five divisions at the
event, the first time a single col-
lege has provided all the players
on a provincial team.

The medal feast also provided a
fitting swan song for Royals coach
Arif Mawani, who is leaving
Douglas College to devote more
time to coaching the provincial
badminton squad.

“lam very proud of the team,”
says Mawani. “Five of our players
were experiencing national com-
petition for the first time.”

Following her selection as
Canadian community college
female athlete of the month for

February, Jobin surged to the
national women’s singles title with
an 11-13, 11-1 victory over
Isabelle Des Lauriers of Quebec’s
College Ste. Jerome.

Douglas College’s Chris Tren-
holme won a silver in men’s
singles, while the mixed doubles
team of Sharon Halpin and Adrian
Lee also won silver medals.

Evy Miki and Rachel Shiv
defeated Ontario in the women’s
doubles bronze-medal game,
while Howe Le and Dak Ban
finished fourth in men’s doubles.

In wrestling action, Douglas
College did well at the recent
Canadian Espoir (under 21 years)
Championships in Antagonish,
Nova Scotia. The Royals’ squad
had more champions than any
other team. Winning their
divisions were Travis Bellerose (52
kg), Dave Scholten (57 kg) and
Ryan White (82 kg). Placing
second were: Rob Wellwood (48
kg), Anthony Nacinovic (82 kg)
and Owen
