McKay, a second-year pole vaulter from Victoria, was the best athlete in his event this season, winning both the OUA and CIS gold medals in just his second year as a varsity athlete. During the regular season he won four medals overall, including the gold at the McGill Team Challenge, and was ranked No. 1 in the CIS. He won the OUA championship for the second straight year to earn first-team all-star honours, and then saved his best for last with his first CIS title to earn a first-team all-Canadian selection. McKay's 10 points at the CIS championships helped the Lions win the team bronze medal.
