Our student-athletes have been busy this season, with their efforts going beyond the field of play and towards making a positive impact in the community of Guelph as well.

Not only has the program registered three CIS titles but the studentathletes from across all 30 teams found time to give back to the Guelph community in a big way this school year through many charitable initiatives.

Two of the department’s largest charitable efforts are with Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the Guelph Food Bank.

One of the Gryphons largest charitable efforts during the season was once again with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guelph. Recognizing the huge amount of support the Guelph community gives to the Gryphon varsity program, our athletes are proud to have participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters foundation annual Bowl For Kids

The University of Guelph’s Department of Athletics raised nearly $9,200 for the BFKS event this year.

GIVE BACK

A cheque was presented to the Big Brothers Big Sisters during the annual University athletics banquet. In total, the department has raised more than $63,200 for the charity.

Another effort from the student-athletes leads up to the annual Athletic Banquet each year. Since 2009, in the week leading up to the Athletic Banquet, Gryphon teams have competed in a Food Drive Challenge. This challenge provides a unique opportunity for the entire athletic community to make a substantial contribution to the Guelph Food Bank. This year, the Department

GRAD BREAKFAST

A few of our graduating student-athletes have shared with us their thoughts on what it means to be a Gryphon and how it’s prepared them for the next stage in their life.

Luke Nangle

Gryphon Football “Being a Gryphon creates a unique leadership platform and opportunity. It’s meant seemingly unlimited opportunity to develop my communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills through involvement on campus and in the community.”

“Being a student-athlete has meant mastering time management skills, developing self discipline, and practicing goal setting. Being a student-athlete has fostered a drive to succeed and win inside of me, and developed an ability to push projects to completion. All of these qualities were recognized by my now current employer during the hiring process. Sharing a common goal amongst a group of teammates is an extremely unique experience that has helped me develop my focus and perseverance while creating long lasting relationships.”

Andrew Nixon

Cross Country “Running for the Gryphons means being at the pinnacle of CIS sport, during my time on the team we won every 9

single OUA and CIS title out there. My class helped usher in a new era of distance running and I now leave behind a conference that competes at a higher level with greater depth than ever before. All the success we achieved together required living daily in an intense environment, a struggle that tied us all as close as brothers and sisters. Earning a Gryphon family through building those relationships mattered more to me than any of the medals we won, and it was a privilege to represent our community at the heights we did.”

“Being immersed for so long in the culture of excellence I’ve had here has certainly prepared me well for the future. Throughout my degree I was motivated to excel on the track as well as in the classroom, so thanks to an emphasis on proper timemanagement, I was able to achieve respectable academic success that I’m considering translating into a graduate program. As a business student there was always such a focus on being able to work effectively in groups to accomplish a common goal, so I always felt lucky that all the time spent with my teammates chasing national championship titles reinforced those crucial life skills.”

Amy Wise

Marlee Freeman

“The privilege of being a Gryphon for five years has really been an experience that I’ll never forget. From sharing heartaches and triumphs on the field to building friendships, being a Gryphon means you are part of a lifelong family that has some of the most special, unique memories together.”

“To me, being a Gryphon meant belonging to something bigger; a community where I had the opportunity to represent my school and pursue the game I love, and be part of the unique culture of varsity sport. It meant being part of a team that became like a second family to me, understanding the importance of commitment and hard work, and recognizing the value of putting my heart into everything I do.”

Field Hockey

“Being a student-athlete helps prepare you for the next stage in life because it teaches you how to manage your time well and be disciplined in your work habits and also how to work together with a team to achieve a common goal and resolve conflicts.

Being a student-athlete really does instill the confidence that no challenge is insurmountable, which is an invaluable asset to any employer.”

Women’s Basketball

“Being a student-athlete has helped me to build the confidence and determination to achieve my goals and persevere through adversity, and played a significant role in the growth and development of many important character skills that I will take with me long after I graduate. This experience has had such a positive impact on every aspect of my life, and has been influential in shaping who am I today, and who I hope to grow to be in the future.”

SPOTLIGHT Guelph has long been known for stressing the importance of academics and community service in the lives of their studentathletes, and for field hockey senior Alexis Wagner, performing well in the classroom and the community holds true.

The fourth-year field hockey player has won four national bronze medals with the Gryphons and is a five-time carded Ontario High Performance Athlete. She also coaches an under 12 club team, introduces field hockey to local gym classes and speaks to high school students about goal setting.

Wagner came out of high school with high academic honours and hasn’t missed a beat at Guelph. She entered as a President’s Scholar and just completed her Bachelor of Biological Engineering with a minor in Food Engineering, also earning Academic All-Canadian honours each of her four years.

different things to different people - everyone is unique.”

Wagner encourages all student-athletes to get involved with their college, program or department.

“Take a year to settle into balancing university life as a varsity athlete and let your team become family, but then take the initiative to broaden your networks on campus.

Being involved in the engineering student society completely changed my university experience - I looked forward to going to class everyday and had a great support network when I missed classes for my sport.”

Wagner recently received the prestigious W.C. Winegard Medal at summer convocation in recognition as U of G’s top undergraduate. Named for former U of G president Bill Winegard, the award recognizes academic achievement and contributions to campus and community. This past May, the City of Guelph hosted the 19th Annual YMCA-YWCA of Guelph Women of Distinction Fundraising Gala at the River Run Centre. Wagner was recognized as 1-of-6 individuals in the Young Women of Distinction category.

A large reason for this recognition was her research on renewable, bioplastic nanomaterials which has won acclaim locally and internationally from the American Society of Plastic Engineers. She also received the Canadian Society for Biological Engineering Design Project Award in Saskatchewan.

As the Engineering Society’s Vice President Academic and Student Senator Elect, Wagner has been involved in supporting her peers. Passionate about resilient communities, she volunteered on organic farms in the United Kingdom for two months in 2013. To encourage community engagement at home, she founded and single-handedly coordinates the Guelph Golden Bears, a volunteering network compose of over 150 engineering students.

When asked how she managed to perform so impressively both in the classroom, community and the field hockey pitch, Wagner stated.

“It’s not easy to manage priorities and seek balance between the field, the classroom and the community, but by eliminating time wasted on unimportant activities I can focus on what I am truly passionate about. It is so important to reflect on your relationship with your sport, your academic goals and your personal priorities while remembering that success means

TYSON FROST WRESTLING

before I went to Alberta for the scholarship,” Frost says. That’s why after his first year in Alberta Frost decided to follow his heart and enroll at the University of Guelph to wrestle for the Gryphons.

“The journey was definitely difficult because you face so many physical and mental challenges, but after looking back at this years results I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”

Perseverance and hard work. Those two words

fittingly describe Guelph wrestler Tyson Frost on his path to capture CIS Gold. Frost, a native of Thunder Bay, Ontario was a star wrestler for Hillcrest high school, winning two gold medals at the Canada Summer Games. He leaped at the opportunity to follow his high school coach to the University of Alberta to wrestle on scholarship for the Golden Bears, but Guelph was always on Frost’s mind.

“Guelph was always my number one choice

Frost continued his success on the mats early in his career for the Gryphons, eventually culminating in a spot on Team Canada’s wrestling squad at the Junior Pan Am games in 2011.

This is also where tragedy struck for Frost. Wrestling in the gold medal match Frost said he felt a pop in his knee, but in typical Frost fashion he soldiered on, not thinking much of it. It was only a few months later while training that Frost decided to get his knee looked at after continued discomfort. It was quickly revealed that Frost had torn his ACL. He was devastated. “The injury was one of the toughest things I’ve been through,” Frost said. Not thinking he’d be able to wrestle again Frost had to put aside all his wrestling goals.

It would have been easy to get lazy and let his schoolwork and training slip, not for Frost. He maintained his hardcore training regime and worked to get back from his injury. On the academic front Frost spent just as much time at the gym as he did in the library, he had always had goals of getting his Masters at Guelph and eventually going on to Law School.

next though should come as no surprise. The Frost of old seemed to be back on the mats. With his coaches persistence Frost finally relented and decided to officially wrestle for the Gryphons again this past year. Fast-forward to the end of the season and it is quite amazing what Frost has accomplished. He won the first two tournaments he entered, and took that momentum into the OUA Championships and took gold, defeating the former CIS Champion in the process. Frost was also named the OUA MVP. He followed that up with a silver medal performance in the CIS Championship.

Looking back at his challenging season Frost said: “The journey was definitely difficult because you face so many physical and mental challenges, but after looking back at this years results I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”

After completing his Bachelor of Sociology degree, Frost will be entering the Criminal Justice & Public Policy Masters program at Guelph in 2014 and will use his remaining years of eligibility to bring home the CIS gold medal.

There is no doubt that when Frost puts his mind to something, he achieves it.

Written by: Andrew Nesbitt

Then one day his friend and former training partner Korey Jarvis came to Frost pleading for them to train together. “He didn’t have that many big guys to train with after winning the National title, so initially I was just planning on getting Jarvis in shape for the World’s,” Frost explained.

Romaniw & Brown Earn Prestigious CIBC Scholarship Gryphon track athlete’s Anthony Romaniw and Joanna Brown were amoung the 67 elite athletes named to the CIBC Team Next program. As part of the scholarship both Brown and Romaniw will receive $15,000 ($5,000 a year over the next three years). On top of that they will receive mentorship from prominent Canadian athletes including former Olympic gold triathlete Simon Whitfield.

The inaugural CIBC scholarship awarded to Romaniw and Brown is quite prestigious, as each of the athletes considered for the award had to be nominated by their national sport organization.

The ‘Team Next’ program is designed to give up-and-coming athletes the proper education and supported needed as they compete in international events for Canada.

Anthony Romaniw

Joanna Brown, who competes for Gryphon track and cross country, got the award as a triathlete, which she trains for in Guelph as well. Brown is a member of the Canadian National Triathlon team and will be representing Canada in the 2015 Pan Am games hosted in Toronto. This past fall she was named a CIS second-team cross country All-Canadian after finishing 12th overall at the national championships for the champion Gryphons.

Anthony Romaniw is a CIS champion track athlete for the Gryphon’s winning gold in the 600m and 4x800m championships for Guelph at the 2013 Championships. Romaniw also plans to represent Canada at the 2015 Pan Am games in Toronto.

Romaniw sees the opportunity at the Pan Am games as a chance to represent the Canadian spirit. He also cites the CIBC Team Next program as an integral facet of his training as it shows both Canada’s and CIBC’s investment and encouragement of amateur athletics.

Both Romaniw and Brown have aspirations to compete for Canada at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janerio. The CIBC scholarship is a meaningful step in helping Romaniw and Brown, as well as numerous other Canadian amateur athletes, accomplish this goal. CIBC’s investment of $2 million to the program is in addition to $2 million already committed in support of Canada’s Pan Am Games and represents a growing network of support for amateur athletes like Romaniw and Brown as they prepare to represent Canada on the international stage in the coming years.

Introducing....

GRYPHON GOLD LAGER Created to celebrate the University of Guelph’s 50th Anniversary, this crisp and refreshing craft-brewed lager is best paired with good times and great friends.

Highlighting iconic landmarks and symbols at the University, the can was designed to celebrate what it means to be a Gryphon - past, present and future!

Gryphon Gold is brewed locally at Guelph’s own Wellington Brewery using 100% Canadian barley malt and traditional Czech style saaz hops. Like the mythical Gryphon with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle, this delicious lager is truly legendary.

Support Gryphon Athletics and unleash the legend of Gryphon Gold!

Good things come in gold packages – at least according to the Guelph Gryphons and Wellington Brewery who are rolling out a fancy new crisp and refreshing craft-brewed lager.

The Gryphon Gold Lager is the result of a unique partnership between local micro-brewery, Wellington Brewery and Guelph Gryphons, to celebrate the U of G’s 50th ‘Golden’ Anniversary.

The joint venture is the first of it’s kind in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, with a percentage of all sales going toward Athletic Scholarships for Gryphon athletes.

The beer has a light, refreshing taste while the design is rooted in the University’s rich history. The unique design of the can was created to inspire conversations with friends and reminisce about times on campus, speak to the community of Guelph 2

and to remind everyone why we’re Proud to be Gryphons!

Along with the symbolic Gryphon, the can has iconic U of G landmarks including the cannon, bear, Johnson Hall, Bob’s Dogs and South Residence to name a few.

When will you be able to enjoy your first ‘Gryphon Gold’?

The lager first made its debut during a tasting at the annual Football Gala in May and the official ‘soft-launch’ was held at the annual President’s Golf Tournament in June in cans. An official on-campus launch will be held and information is to be determined.

Support Gryphon Athletics and enjoy ‘Gryphon Gold’…celebrating the full package of design, taste and excellence.

R A T S G RISIN KATELYN AYERS First year athlete Katelyn Ayers competed this year on both the lacrosse team and the track & field team. While Ayers helped the Gryphon lacrosse team to an OUA silver medal, it was on the track where she really excelled this year.

Ayers won four medals in her first year of competition, taking the gold At the OUA Championship

in the 600m and 1000m races and winning silver in the 4x400m and 4x800m relays. This performance landed her the Dr. Wendy Jerome Trophy as the outstanding female performer at the OUA’s, as well as the OUA female Rookie of the Year. This performance earned her OUA Athlete of the Week honours and set her up nicely for a strong showing at the CIS Championships. At the CIS Championship Ayers was disqualified in the 1000m run in a controversial decision after the race. Ayers went on to place 4th in the 600m run and capture a bronze for the Gryphon’s in the 4x800m relay, helping the Guelph women to capture the CIS Championship.

Her amazing freshman season ended with the CIS Track & Field Rookie of the Year Award and was named the University of Guelph Athletics Dr. Mary Beverley Burton Female Rookie of the year.

MADDIE DEDECKER In her first season playing for the Guelph Gryphon’s Maddie DeDecker was able to make a successful transition to CIS level volleyball. Playing the left side for the Gryphon’s DeDecker led the team with 3.57

points per set while also adding 181 kills and 123 digs in 59 sets played. DeDecker made an

immediate impact on the young Gryphon squad, scoring 18 points (including 16 kills) in her second career game against the Brock Badgers. DeDecker’s contributions helped the Gryphon’s to a 14-5 record including an impressive eight game winning streak. This was good for first in the OUA West division and after missing the playoffs last season, a chance at redemption - an OUA playoff berth. Unfortunately the Gryphon’s could not culminate their strong regular season into an OUA Championship, however with a number of first and second year players on this young squad, there is no doubt DeDecker will lead the Gryphon’s to multiple titles in the future.

Despite the disappointing end to the season for the Gryphon squad, DeDecker ended her first season with the Gryphon’s with numerous awards and distinctions.

DeDecker was named the Female Athlete of the Week for the Guelph Gryphon’s on November 24. She was also recognized as the OUA West Rookie of the Year and was named to the OUA West First Team All-Stars as well as both the OUA West and the CIS All Rookie teams. With

such an impressive start to her OUA career and a young Gryphon team on the rise, expectations are high for both DeDecker and the Gryphon’s, but there is no doubt she will be up for the challenge!

TRISTAN WOODFINE

After predominately training for triathlon competitions in his first two years at the University of Guelph, Tristan Woodfine decided to try his hand at cross country competitions this year. Woodfine was an accomplished high school athlete, earning the Brian Maxwell Memorial Track Scholarship awarded to two individuals each year pursuing post secondary education at a Canadian school that combines athletic and academic achievement.

Woodfine helped the Gryphons capture their eighth straight CIS Championship and ninth straight OUA Championship this year. Woodfine finished third in the OUA Championship behind teammates Aaron Hendrikx and Ross Proudfoot. At the CIS Championship Woodfine finished second in the 10 km run behind teammate Aaron Hendrikx. Woodfine’s spectacular season was

rewarded with OUA & CIS Rookie of the Year awards and First-Team All Canadian honours as well as making the OUA Men’s All-Star Team. On

top of these OUA and CIS accomplishments, Woodfine helped the Gryphon’s capture their first ever NCAA Division I title at the Greater Louisville Classic, finishing in 13th out of a field of over 250 competitors. Woodfine also led Team Canada at the World University Cross Country Championships earlier this year in Uganda, placing seventh overall.

JOHN AUGUSTINE

The sky is the limit. That’s what Assistant Coach

John Casasanta had to say about first year running back John Augustine. Coach Casasanta began recruiting Augustine almost immediately after his family moved to Welland, Ontario from Florida. Casasanta knew instantly that John was the type of student-athlete that embodies what it means to be a Gryphon: “His work ethic, resolve and toughness are second to none. His dedication not only on the field but off the field to his teammates, coaches and most importantly his family is extraordinary.”

The rookie finished the season dressing in six games for the Gryphon’s, a rarity for first year players, including the season-opener against Laurier where he rushed for 127 yards on 16 carries. He finished the season rushing for a total of 393 yards on 59 attempts with one touchdown and was named an OUA all-rookie ‘Team Member’.

Augustine says he is committed to doing whatever the coaches ask of him to help his team win, and if Augustine’s hard work and dedication are any indication of the Gryphon’s future success, we may see a Yates Cup trophy on campus sooner rather than later.

Woodfine hopes to build upon his strong athletic resume and eventually work towards competing in the 2016 Olympics. Given how he’s started his Cross Country career, Woodfine seems to be well on his way!

Trio of Gryphons & Head Coach Share In FISU Championship Title Every two years university athletes from different countries get together to compete in the Winter and Summer Universiade. This past year four Guelph Gryphons were chosen to represent Canada’s women’s hockey team at the Winter Universiade in Trentino, Italy. Forwards Amanda Parkins and Jessica Pinkerton, and defenseman Kimberly Wong suited up for the Canadian squad looking to capture its third straight gold medal, while Gryphons Head Coach Rachel Flanagan was an assistant on the coaching staff.

The Canadian squad featured players from all around the CIS including players from all four CIS conferences.

Parkins, Pinkerton, and Wong were amoung the six players selected from the OUA and only the University of Montreal had more selections than the Gryphons (McGill also had three selections).

Preliminary games take place at the start of the tournament with each team squaring off against all other opponents once. Canada opened the tournament strong, winning all of their preliminary round games, including an opening 21-0 victory over Spain, followed by a 5-0 win over Russia, a 13-0 win against Great Britain, a 9-1 win vs. USA, and a 9-1 defeat of Japan to close out preliminary play.

Canada’s record of 5-0 and +55 goal differential (57 goals for, 2 goals 25

against) gave them the number one seed heading into the knockout stage of the tournament.

Canada squared off with Japan once again in the semi-final match, knocking them out of gold medal contention with a 15-0 victory. The win for Canada included a strong performance from Canada’s Gryphon contingent with five points from Amanda Parkins (1 goal, 4 assists), two points from Jessica Pinkerton (2 assists), and a solid +5 from Kimberly Wong. The victory would set the stage for a final showdown with Russia for the gold. In the final match with Russia Guelph’s Jessica Pinkerton opened the scoring for Team Canada 11:39 into the contest. Canada would not look back from this lead, taking the gold medal in convincing fashion 5-0 over the Russian squad. The victory not only gave Canada their third straight gold at the Universiade games, but also improved their overall record to 21-0 overall in the tournament.

The Gryphon representatives each had an impressive showing in the tournament. Amanda Parkins was third in the tournament in points with nine goals and seven assists for 16 points in seven games played. Jessica Pinkerton finished with five goals and four assists for nine points in seven games as well. Her five goals were good for ninth in tournament goal scoring. Meanwhile, Kimberly Wong

was third in scoring for defense in the tournament with one goal and six assists for seven points in seven games. Wong’s +33 also led the entire tournament.

Kim Wong described the experience as the most memorable hockey highlight of her career. “What I

enjoyed the most was meeting an amazing group of women who have a strong passion for the game. After five years as a Gryphon I couldn’t be happier that I finished my career representing my country and my school,” Wong

said.

Pinkerton would go on to lead the OUA in goals this year with 16 in 22 games for the Gryphons, getting her on the CIS second All-Canadian team.

She also finished tied for fourth in the OUA in points with 31 with teammate Amanda Parkins. Meanwhile Wong finished with one goal and seven assists in 22 games.

While Guelph would go on to lose in the OUA Semi-Finals and could not achieve their ultimate goal of winning a CIS Championship, the experience at the Universiade games will surely pay huge dividends for the returning Gryphon’s Pinkerton and Parkins in their quest to capture a CIS title in the coming years.
