Chris Reid - Football
JOEY’S PIZZA AND PASTA MALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Mount Allison’s Department of Athletics and Recreation is pleased to announce that freshman Mounties running back Chris Reid has been named the Joey’s Pizza and Pasta Male Athlete of the Week for the week of September 29th – October 5th, 2014.
Reid, a first year football Mountie from Brampton, ON, has torn up the AUS since getting his first game action against StFX during the 2nd week of the season. Reid ran for a staggering 246 yards on 37 carries against Saint Mary’s in the Mounties 38-0 win on the road on Saturday. Reid’s 246 yards were by far the biggest single game rushing totals in the AUS so far this year. He now leads the AUS with 653 rushing yards in just 3.5 games. Reid also ranks 2nd in the CIS for rush yards and yards/game, currently averaging 130 yards per game.
Reid and his CIS 8th ranked Mounties football team look to go 6-0 this weekend as they host Saint Mary’s at MacAulay at 2PM Saturday.
Other nominees include Cale Saunders from the men’s soccer team.
