Chargers Athletics Update

Jim Druart, Director of Athletics & Recreation

This has been a year of challenge and change, but in the midst of it all, our teams have competed and completed a full season of ACAA competition in men’s and women’s soccer and Cross Country. The everchanging COVID landscape has created unforeseen challenges, but we are thrilled that our athletes are once again representing Crandall with excellence, confidence and pride.

Our boxers continue to excel, with George Stavrou recently competing in the World Men’s Boxing Championship in Belgrade, Serbia. Our soccer teams continue to improve; building a foundation that we believe will bring future success. The women had some notable performances to start the year with draws against the league’s top teams.

The Cross Country team made history this year, winning our first ever Men’s ACAA Cross Country Championship. Sean Finnigan completed an undefeated season winning gold in the individual event and leading the team to the banner. Mary MacLean finished with a bronze for the women and head coach Brandon LeBlanc was named the ACAA Cross Country Coach of the Year. The team went on to represent Crandall at the CCAA National Championships in Calgary, AB on November 13.

We are also winding down our facility improvement projects with the creation of new visitor locker rooms in November and resurfacing the gym floor in December.

As we look to the winter, we are extremely proud of all our athletes and the commitment they have made to Crandall Athletics. We are raising our standards and expectations and all of our athletes, coaches and staff are rising to the challenge.

As we continue working hard to create a culture founded on faith, integrity, respect, innovation, community and tradition in the pursuit of excellence in academics and athletics, I want to express my sincere and deep gratitude to the Crandall community for your continued support and commitment to Crandall Athletics.
