MOUNT ALLISON ATHLETES OF THE WEEK (MARCH 1-8, 2010)
Sponsored by Joey's Pizza and Pasta
CARRIE and HEATHER MURRAY — BADMINTON
MOUNT ALLISON'S BADMINTON SISTERS WIN AWARD AT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Mount Allison's women’s doubles players, Carrie and Heather Murray, were honoured with the National Fair Play Award while at the National Badminton Championships at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) on March 4-6. The pair played a round robin series with teams from across Canada. Against very strong competition the girls were out played by the strong western teams, but were very competitive with a near upset over the Ontario team, and then took two convincing wins over the Alberta host team, to end their national ranking in fifth place overall.
Mount Allison was also represented at the national tournament in men’s doubles and men’s singles with brothers Brent and Justin Barkhouse, and singles player Braden Freeman. The three players had a realistic opportunity to be in contention for a bronze medal, but their hopes were dashed with two very close losses against the Alberta host team and Ontario.
Carrie and Heather, the previous week, won the right to advance to the nationals by first winning the ACAA team championships title and then defeating all competitors in the national qualifying tournament on day-two of the Atlantic championships held at Mount Allison.
Residents of Belleisle, NS, both athletes are former standouts with Annapolis West Education Centre and the Annapolis Royal Badminton Club. Carrie was coached by Mike Scott while in high school, and was winner of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, the Lieutenant Governor’s Award, and three Coach’s Choice Awards in softball, swimming, and badminton. When she arrived at Mount Allison, Carrie continued her winning ways, capturing the Mounties’ Badminton Rookie of the Year in 2006-07, and the team’s Female MVP in 2007-09.
Heather was her high school’s Female Athlete of the Year in 2007-08, her team’s MVP in 2004-05, and the winner of numerous fair play, leadership, and coach’s choice awards over the past five seasons. In her first year at Mount Allison, she captured the women’s doubles championships with her sister and was named the ACAA Female Rookie of the Year for 2008-09. This season she was named the CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association) Badminton player of the month for January, and was also named again to the ACAA All-Conference team for a second consecutive year.
Fourth-year Mountie Carrie is enrolled in English while her second-year sister Heather is in Mount Allison’s science program studying psychology.
Also nominated for Athletes of the Week were Lauren Antworth (basketball) and Akil Smith (basketball).
