CALGARY — University of Montreal quarterback Jonathan Senecal and Laval sprinter Audrey Leduc have been named Canada’s U Sports athletes of the year.

They were chosen from eight nominees, four of each gender, from each of Canda’s four university conferences.

In addition to leading the Carabins to a 2023 Vanier Cup title, Senecal was named MVP of that game and earned the Hec Crighton Trophy as the top football player in Canadian university sport.

The 24-year-old from Mirabel, Que., was just the second player to claim all three football trophies after Calgary’s Don Blair in 1995.

Leduc was the fastest Canadian woman in the 60 metres this year and went unbeaten in that distance en route to a national university title in March
