Varsity Blues standout Shujon Mazumder was named the outstanding male wrestler after dominating the 54kg category en route to a gold medal at the 2010 CIS wrestling championships, March 5-6, at the University of Calgary.

 

Mazumder, who was also named outstanding wrestler at the OUA championships earlier this season, defeated Regina’s Steven Schneider in the final of the 54kg to cap off an amazing season on the mats. The Toronto native is the first U of T student-athlete to earn outstanding wrestler of the year honours at the national level.

 

Mazumder joins Peter Brown on the list of male Varsity Blues athletes who have reached the top of the national podium. After finishing third in 1995, Brown won the 90kg event in 1996. Since then, no other U of T wrestler has finished in the top-three in the country.
