UPEI announces the Panther Subway Athletes of the Week, February 19–26

Every week, UPEI Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Bailey Smith and Stefan Vujisic, the UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for February 19–26.

Bailey Smith is a second-year sprinter on UPEI’s Track and Field team and a nursing student from Mount Stewart, PEI. Smith won the 60 m race at the AUS Track and Field Championship, finishing in 7.63—a personal best. She was selected as the AUS Female Track Athlete of the Year. “Bailey proved once again that she is at her best when the competition is strongest and pressure is on,” said coach Colin MacAdam.

Stefan Vujisic is a fifth-year forward on the UPEI Men’s Basketball team and a Bachelor of Arts student from Kragujevac, Serbia. The Panthers lost a pair of games over the weekend to St. Francis Xavier University and Dalhousie University, but Vujisic shone with 24 points and six rebounds. “Stefan had a strong weekend for us, a great way to finish his UPEI Panther career,” said coach Darrell Glenn.

Go Panthers Go!
