University of Toronto track and field standout Femi Akinduro and hockey forward Céline Frappier have been named the Varsity Blues athletes of the week for the period ending March 12.

Fourth-year veteran Femi Akinduro competed in all three jumps to help the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's track and field team to a silver-medal finish at the 2023 U SPORTS championships in Saskatoon this past weekend.

The kinesiology major from Etobicoke, Ont., earned the national silver medal in his signature triple jump event, bettering 1992 Olympian Oral Ogilvie's 34-year-old U of T record (15.91m) with a jump of 15.98m.

Akinduro also placed fifth in the high jump, clearing 1.99m, as well as fifth in the long jump with a best jump of 7.21m.

A fifth-year forward from Tecumseh, Ont., Céline Frappier scored the game-winning-goal to help the University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's hockey team to the OUA McCaw Cup championship title on Saturday night at Varsity Arena.

With just 28 seconds remaining in the game, the Master's of education student received a centering pass from linemate Kaitlyn McKnight and made no mistake, one-timing the puck past Nipissing Lakers netminder Chantelle Sandquist to secure the victory.
