THE DURHAM COLLEGE 'olume XXIV Issue 17 April 15, 1997 S krib e, Pow top athlete s Six inducted into Durham 's Hall of Fame BY GORDON FENNY Chronicle staff For the first time in the history of the annual athletic banquet; held last Friday evening at E.P. Taylor's in the student centre, the female and male athletes of the year had to share the lime- light with former stars, as six athletes and coaches were inducted into the inaugural Durham College Sports Hall of Fame. Capturing top honors for their performances during the past year were Oshawa native Marcy Skribe, a member of both the basketball and soccer teams, and Stu Pow, who starred both ath- letically and academically and established himself as one of the premiere "setters" with the men's volleyball team.' Skribo, who was honored by the CCAA this year for both her athletic and academic achievements, will be announced at a press conference in Toronto later this week as the first recipient of the OCAA's female athlete of the year award. "It's a rarity to be recognized both academically and athleti- cally at the national level," said Skribe, a Dental Hygiene sty- dent in her final year at Durham College. "There's certainly more prestige from academic recognition, and I feel really good about that, quite a night." ! * For'Pow,It^b^ ftcbgnition as Durham's top athlete came^ as a sur- prise, to; the. <iraj|-yoar General Arts student who switched over from Business Administration. .. ^^ItHought it would go to one of the basketball^ players.
