Rookie of the Month
Sydney Seymour
Grade: 12 Age: 17
School: SJCSS
Hometown: Cornwall
There are many definitions of rookie, and Sydney Seymour
can be counted as one at the national U18 women’s rugby
7s level.
This year was a breakthrough year for Syd. She travelled
to Las Vegas in February where she was an alternate for
the Canadian women’s U18 squad and one of its youngest
members. She was one of 14 girls selected for the team
from across Canada. The girls won a spot in the 2018
Youth Olympic Games in Argentina this October.
In addition to her budding national career, Sydney played for Ontario at the National
Canadian 7s Rugby Championship in Langford, BC, in early March, where in the final
game against Alberta she kicked the convert that won Ontario its first ever national U18
7s gold medal. The 2-point convert secured the title for Ontario by a single point: 22-21.
