GRYPHONS CAPTURE GOLD
Last week, U of G's figure skating team won the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championship for only the second time in Gryphon history. A total of seven individual and partner gold medals went to Ariel Porty, Laura Barbison, Caitlyn McCann, Charlotte Drewett and Sandra McCubbin. Two other team members won silver and bronze. In addition, the synchronized skating team captured gold. At the OUA wrestling championships held earlier this month, two Gryphons brought home gold medals — Allison Leslie in the 72-kilogram event and Kyle Grant in the 130-kg event. Seven other wrestlers won silver and bronze medals, earning the men's team a bronze medal overall and the women's team a fourth-place standing.
