Ghislaine Landry made an immediate impact on STFX women’s rugby, scoring a try in her first AUS regular season match – a feat that she would repeat every time on the pitch in her four-year career. In her 2006 freshman campaign, the Toronto native led the White and Blue to their first national championship title, one in which she was named CIS rookie of the year and a first-team All-Canadian. She continued to excel on the national championship stage, garnering tournament all-star status three times as the X-Women earned consecutive silver medals in 2008 and 2009.
In 2007, Landry earned the first of back-to-back CIS player of the year awards, and the second of four first-team All-Canadian nods. The four-time AUS most valuable player left an indelible mark on the conference record book, including bests in career points (352) and tries (70), along with points scored in a single game (35), tries in a single game (seven) and tries in a single season (22). A four-time STFX female athlete of the year award recipient, Ghislaine enjoyed a highly successful career with the Canadian national women’s sevens program, becoming one of the highest scoring players in the world and winning a 2016 Summer Olympic Games bronze medal.
