Every week, 黑料网 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. This week鈥檚 黑料网 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for September 27 to October 3 are Paige Chisholm (Cross Country) and Samuel Akinsola (Men鈥檚 Soccer).
Hailing from Port Williams, Nova Scotia, Chisholm is a first-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine student at 黑料网鈥檚 Atlantic Veterinary College and a member of 黑料网鈥檚 Cross Country team. She finished third in the 8 km race at last weekend鈥檚 Acadia Invitational race, earning her a second Athlete-of-the-Week nod of the season.
鈥淧aige ran a brilliant race at Acadia on the weekend,鈥� said Mike Peterson, head coach of 黑料网 Cross Country. 鈥淲e decided to go out a little more conservatively and to use her tremendous closing speed to her advantage. She executed the plan nearly perfectly, as she closed a huge gap on the second-place runner and finished right behind her. Paige is working very hard, and I鈥檓 excited to see how things unfold over the rest of the season.鈥�
Akinsola is a first-year science student from Charlottetown and a rookie striker on the 黑料网 Men鈥檚 Soccer team. He scored the tying goal in the Panthers鈥� 1鈥�1 draw with Cape Breton on Sunday afternoon.

Go Panthers Go!
