At the provincial championships championships she copped four medals, medals, including two golds, a silver silver and a bronze. When the Canadian Championships were held in Montreal, her team picked up a silver and a bronze.

In Shaw's case, the year was highlighted by numerous personal achievements, including including setting world, Canadian Canadian and provincial records at events for the physically disabled disabled dial he hopes will stand for a long time. But, despite all of his ath- ■ lctic heroics, the year ended on a sour note. His dream of participating in the 1992 Olympic (Games for the Physically Physically Disabled in Barcelona, Spain were shattered. Recently he received a letter letter notifying him that not enough countries entered athletes athletes in his event, the shot, put. The event has been cancelled, cancelled, and with it, a lot of hard work and countless hours. Despite the setback, Shaw keeps an upbeat view of the future, and hopes for better things to come his way. Based on his record- setting year of '91, he has every reason to believe that his luck will change. At the Ontario Games for the Physically Disabled in Hamilton this summer, he set a world record in the discus and Canadian records in the shot put and javelin. Records arc made to be broken, however. And who better to break them then the record holder himself. At the Canadian Forester Games in Brantford during August, he broke his existing world record in the discus, and surpassed the mark he had set in the javelin. At a meet held in Miami in December, he competed in five events -- three field and two track -- and returned home with four gold medals. The other two finalists for the male athlete of the year award included Newcastle's Richard Fischer and Courlicc resident Craig dcBlois.

Metras as the country's country's most outstanding down lineman. dcBlois completed his second second year of studies at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY He is one of only three or four scholarship athletes who excel at two varsity sports at Colgate. Initially recruited for hockey, when the ice melted he went outdoors as a member member of the varsity field lacrosse lacrosse team.
