Trent Excalibur's Emerson Prior Selected to Represent Canada in U19 Rugby
First-year student athlete to head to California to play two games for Rugby Canada
Emerson Prior is a first-year Nursing student, a Trent Excalibur athlete, and now one of 28 athletes that will represent team Canada on the U19 Rugby Canada team.
Mr. Prior, who just wrapped up playing his first year at the university level with the Trent Excalibur men’s rugby team, was announced today as a member of Rugby Canada’s team that will be travelling to California this month to play in a two-game series against the U.S. over the holidays.
“This is a huge opportunity for me and a massive step in my rugby career,” said Mr. Prior about the news. “Playing at the international level has always been a dream of mine and this tour is the beginning of it coming true. I believe the support I've received from my family, friends and coaches, my love of rugby, and my pursuit of improvement is the reason for the opening of this opportunity.”
