Nine more University of Toronto Varsity Blues were named to Team Canada rosters this afternoon as U SPORTS announced the 393 Canadians heading to the upcoming 2017 FISU Summer Universiade in Taipei City, Chinese Taipei from Aug. 19-30.
Â
The nine Varsity Blues from today's announcement will be joining three soccer standouts; Koosha Nazemi, Lukas MacNaughton and Natasha Klasios, who were named to their respective sport rosters in a previous U SPORTS announcement, and swimmer Eli Wall, who earned his roster position after winning the 2017 Canadian men's 200m breaststroke title back in April.
Â
On the links, Varsity Blues veterans Laura Upenieks and Truman Tai will don the maple leaf for Team Canada. Upenieks has been a crucial member of Toronto's reigning five-time champion women's golf team. She is an eight-time OUA all-star and won the Judy McCrae Trophy as the individual champion in 2015. Meanwhile, Tai is a two-time OUA all-star earning the honours in 2013 and 2016. The five-year veterans top individual result has been provincial silver in 2013.
Â
Back in the pool, three U of T men's water polo players; Michael Chapman, Stefan Mitic, and Paul Spooner, were all selected to Canada's FISU men's water polo team. The trio represent a Varsity Blues program that has been dominant in the OUA, winning 10 of the last 15 provincial championships and 31 overall in program history. Spooner earned OUA all-star recognition this past season, while Chapman previously earned those honours in 2014. Joining the trio of student-athletes will be Varsity Blues women's water polo coach George Gross Jr., who will serve as a team leader for Canada's men's water polo team in Taipei.
Â
On the badminton court, University of Toronto Varsity Blues 2016-17 male rookie of the year Jonathan Lai, as well as Brittney Tam have been selected to represent Canada at the Summer Universiade. Lai earned OUA rookie of the year and all-star honours as U of T captured their second straight OUA title this past season. Tam was an integral member of the 2016 championship squad.
Â
Varsity Blues alumni James Turner and Gregory MacNeil are set to compete on the track. Turner is a multi-sport specialist, recently capturing national bronze in the men's decathalon at the Canadian Track and Field Championships earlier this month in Ottawa. As a Blue, Turner earned both provincial and national gold medals in the men's pentathlon in 2015. Meanwhile, MacNeil specializes in hurdles, winning OUA gold in the 60m event in both 2014 and 2015, adding U SPORTS gold for the Blues in 2015.
Â
The Varsity Blues competitors will also join several other University of Toronto students including Evan Karakolis (athletics), Elaena Dick (diving), Cindy Huh (rhythmic gymnastics), Angi Luo of UTM (table tennis), Crystal Chan (taekwondo), Ruxandra Rodgers (taekwondo), Hayk Amirbekyan (taekwondo), and Andrei Velasevic (men's water polo).
Â
Complete rosters for each team are available below, with the Canadian women's basketball and women's volleyball teams to be announced at a later date.
Â
The Opening Ceremony of the 2017 Summer Universiade will be held on Aug. 19 at Taipei Municipal Stadium, beginning at 7 a.m. ET (7 p.m. local time).
