Trent Athletics Announces November Village Inn Student-Athletes of the Month

Trent Athletics is proud to announce the recipients of the Village Inn Student-Athlete of the Month award for November 2025.

This award recognizes the outstanding athletic performances of our student-athletes throughout the month.

The female Student-Athlete of the Month is Lauren Rath (Perth, Ontario) from the women's varsity curling team.

Lauren delivered an exceptional month at the helm of the Excalibur women's curling program, stepping into the Skip role and guiding her team to first place finishes at both the Guelph Invitational and the Trent Invitational. At Guelph, she showed poise and precision in her first university competition as Skip, leading the women to an undefeated run and a championship title. She followed it up with another strong performance at the Trent Invitational, where the Excalibur topped a field of eight teams to secure first place again. Throughout November, Lauren demonstrated calm leadership, strategic command, and consistent shot-making that anchored her team's success.

Lauren is a third-year student in Forensic Science.

-The male Student-Athlete of the Month is William Jewell (Acton, Ontario) from the men's varsity curling team.

In his first year with Trent, William made an immediate impact as Skip, steering the Excalibur men's curling team to an undefeated round robin performance and the top playoff seed at the Guelph Invitational, ultimately advancing to the semifinals. His confidence and ability to execute under pressure set him apart early in the season. William then carried that momentum into the Trent Invitational, where he again skipped the Excalibur to a dominant showing, finishing first overall as the only men's team that went undefeated that weekend. His leadership, precision, and mature approach to the game have quickly established him as a central contributor to the program.

William is a first-year student in Conservation Biology.
