Senior distance runner Julia Howley and senior golfer Chris Crisologo were named Lorne Davies Athletes of the Year at the 2018 Simon Fraser University Athletic Awards on Tuesday that recognized the top performing student-athletes.
Howley qualified for three different national championships and was a four-time All-American in a spectacular senior season. She led the cross-country team to its first-ever unbeaten regular season and finished 10th at nationals. In track, Howley was ninth in the outdoor 1500-metre race and 12th in the indoor 3000m at the NCAA championships.
Crisologo turned in a season for the ages, winning the conference’s and West Region Player of the Year, and was NCAA All-American First Team. He became the youngest member of Canada’s national amateur squad and the first Canadian to win the South American Amateur.
