Congratulations
to David Wright who was just awarded Canadian Male Athlete of the year
for 2009. David, culminated a terrific season with a sixth place in the
laser world championships as well as many top 5 finishes in the
International regatta scene.
Well done david.
And we cannot forget Lee Parkhill winning CYA rookie of the year.
This award is given to the 1st year Canadian Sailing Team member who
has the best finish at their World Championships. Lee placed an
incredible 16th overall in the laser worlds. This is the best finish
for a relative newcomer to the laser class in any country for many
years.
The future looks bright indeed for not only these two sailors but
the many others who trained and pushed these two to their results
