Mohawk Mountaineers are proud to announce Michaela Walker and Matias Tessel as the Athletes of the Week, in conjunction with the Mohawk Students' Association, for the week of Sept. 27 to Oct. 3.
Walker, a first-year catcher from Dundas, ON, gave the Mountaineers women's softball team an offensive boost through six games. During the week, Walker had a .500 batting average, scored two runs and drove in two.
Tessel joined the Mountaineers cross country squad for their first race of the year this past Saturday. The second-year Guelph, ON native finished eighth amongst 58 athletes with a final race time of 29:20. Along with an impressive individual performance, Tessel and the men's cross country team accomplished a third-place podium finish.
The Mountaineers Athletes of the Week is a new initiative put together by Mohawk's athletics and recreation department and the MSA.
Every Monday two new athletes will be chosen for the award and announced here on the Mohawk Mountaineers website. Also, make sure to follow the Mountaineers Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages for additional news, graphics and videos.
