Every week, 69传媒Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Jenna Mae Ellsworth and Owen Headrick, the 69传媒Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for January 21 to 27!
Jenna May Ellsworth is a third-year science student from Charlottetown and a guard on the 69传媒Women鈥檚 Basketball team.

Ellsworth scored 18 points in the win and grabbed seven rebounds. Sunday, she scored 20 points, shooting 7/12, with 4 rebounds and 2 steals. 鈥淛enna Mae was very solid for us all weekend,鈥� said coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淪he competed hard and showed a lot of toughness leading the charge to get us back into the game on Sunday.鈥�
Owen Headrick is a third-year arts student from Garden River, Ontario who plays defence on the 69传媒Men鈥檚 Hockey team. The Panthers dropped a game to St. Francis Xavier University over the weekend, but picked up a win against Dalhousie University. Headrick notched a pair of goals and a pair of assists. 鈥�Owen had a great weekend for us,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e was a factor on every goal and a key part in our come-back win against Dal. Owen has been a top rookie in our league and a big part of our program!鈥�
