Badminton All-Canadians
Mariners Melissa Liew and Graydon Robb named 2015-2016 All-Candians
A pair of VIU Mariners have been named CCAA All-Candians in Badminton as they will host the National Championships this weekend.
Melissa Liew captured gold in Women’s Singles at the PACWEST Championships. Coming off a silver medal in Mixed Doubles at the 2015 CCAA National Championships, the fourth-year student-athlete captained the Mariners this season. Liew, a 2015 CCAA Academic All-Canadian, is always willing to share her experience and provide leadership to her teammates.
In his third season with the Mariners, Graydon Robb won gold in Men’s Singles at the 2016 PACWEST Championships. The 2015 CCAA Male Player of the Year combines great deception, explosive movement and an exceptional jump smash. Robb, a CCAA All-Canadian in 2015, was also a member of Team Alberta at last year’s Canada Winter Games.
