⭐️ Congratulations to Max Davies, winner of the Men's Athlete of the Year! ⭐️ ⁠
⁠
Max Davies is the University of Guelph’s Men’s Athlete of the Year for 2023-24.The 20-year-old endurance runner from Toronto, set not one, but two U SPORTS records at the 2024 U SPORTS Track & Field Championships in Winnipeg. Davies, who was named the U SPORTS ⁠
Athlete of the Meet, broke a 12-year-old U SPORTS record in the men’s 1000m (set by former Gryphon, Tommy Lecours, at the 2012 nationals). One day later, in the men's 1500m, Davies broke a 34-year-old U SPORTS record (set in 1990 by UBC runner, Allan Klassen), to claim his second gold medal of the meet. ⁠
⁠
The unforgettable week in Winnipeg by Davies was capped off in the men’s 4x800m relay, where Davies ran the anchor leg and propelled the Gryphons to yet another U SPORTS gold medal. Prior to the start of the 2024 U SPORTS Track & Field Championships, Davies was also recognized as the U SPORTS (Track) Athlete of the Year, for his outstanding performance throughout the course of the 2023-24 track season, which included a memorable performance at the Penn State National Open in January where he became the 75th Canadian man to run a sub-four-minute mile, posting a University of Guelph school record time of 3:59.24. Max also competes on the Gryphons men’s cross country team, where he earned OUA First Team All-Star & U SPORTS Second Team All-Canadian status while helping the Gryphons capture the 2023 OUA title. Congrats, Max!⁠
