LANCERS CAPTURE THREE NATIONAL TITLES
The Windsor Lancers claimed three
Canadian Interuniversity Sport
(CIS) National championships in
2010/11, the only university in
Canada to achieve that feat this
past season. Even more impressive,
they accomplished this all in the
space of just eight days in March.
On March 12, 2011, both the Lancer
Men’s and Women’s
Track & Field
teams won this year’s CIS titles at the 2011
track and field team championships in Sherbrooke, Que. It’s
the second time in three years and fourth time in team
history.
The track & field program
extended its CIS record for the
most team championships to 10
women’s titles and seven in men’s.
The Lancer women finished the
three-day meet with a new CIS
record of 154.5 points, 55.5 better
than their closest competitors. The
men recorded 138 points, 41 more than second-place Regina.
On March 20, 2011, the Lancer
Women’s Basketball
team captured the gold medal and its own place in CIS
history as the first-ever team to both host the national
tournament and win the CIS Bronze Baby Trophy.

Jessica Clemençon and Kyle Williamson claimed the top
two prizes at the annual Lancer Evening of Excellence held
in April. They received the Banner and Olympic Shields,
respectively, as the Lancer Athletes of the Year.
Clemençon – the CIS and OUA Player of the Year in
women’s basketball – helped lead the Lancers to their first-ever
national championship in their 50-year history. Her stellar
performance earned her gold medal game MVP honours.
Williamson was the first men’s volleyball Lancer to be
named the OUA Player of the Year, a CIS First Team All-
Canadian, and as an OUA First Team All-Star.
The DeMarco Awards, presented to the top female and
male student who best combine academic achievement
with athletic prowess, went to Arlo Hemkes (soccer), and
Candace Rapchak (hockey), and Erika Reiser (track & field).
The Windsor Lancer Gino Fracas Coach of the Year
Award was presented to Track & Field head coach Dennis
Fairall and Women’s Basketball head coach Chantal Vallée.
Under Coach Fairall’s guidance, the Lancers captured two
national and provincial championships in track & field, and
two provincial and national silver medals in cross-country.
