Hall of Fame
Kyle Boorsma possessed an attribute that most athletes in any sport dream of having – genuine fearlessness. That internal confidence, combined with exceptional athleticism and a strong work ethic, helped Kyle become one of the greatest runners in the history of U SPORTS. A three-time Gryphon Male Athlete of the Year and 10-time All-Canadian, he was a great all-around athlete, who excelled in hockey and golf before finding his groove as a cross country and track and field star. Gryphon head coach Dave Scott-Thomas saw Kyle as the entire package – a mix of athletic ability and academic prowess, with a definitive commitment to team. "It's seldom that you have an intersection of physical and psychological ability like Kyle has," Scott-Thomas said. Kyle also cycles competitively and has been the Gryphon endurance coach for the past three years.
