QUEEN'S COACH WINS AT CANADIAN NATIONAL WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
REGINA, Sask. - Terri McNutt, a member of the Queen's wrestling coaching staff, captured a victory in the women's 51 kg division at the Canadian National Wrestling Championship.
McNutt won all three of her matches by pin-fall, defeated the Niagara Olympic Wrestling club and Brock University member Diana Ford. The match went an additional two minutes with McNutt decisively winning taking the championship.
As a result McNutt will represent Canada at the 2009 Pan-American Championship in Maracaibo, Venezuela from April 23 to 25.
In the Canadian Junior championship, Queen's student-athlete Kellie Heney (Munster, Ont.) competed but fell in the final round to the University of Calgary's Ella Burke and then a close decision to Liz Sera (Winnipeg, Man.) of the University of Western.
The first year arts and science major will look forward to continue her development next year with Queen's and hopes to return to the junior nationals in 2010.
