Western Mustangs Sports

Cross country and track and field athlete Jack Sheffar won the fifth ever Male Athlete of the Year Award. He set numerous records for the purple and white in 2016-17, leading the Mustangs as the team's top finisher in each race he competed in during the cross country season. Sheffar helped lead the men's team to their first OUA title since 1988, earning OUA All-Star and U SPORTS All-Canadian honours along with way. He didn't slow down once he moved to the track and continued to dominate, including winning both the 1500m and 3000m at the OUA Championships to earn OUA Men's Outstanding Performer honours at the event.
