Malcolm Howard Wins Olympic Silver Medal
At the London Olympics, Malcolm Howard, Brentwood Class of 2001 and Captain of the Canadian Heavyweight Men’s 8+, won a come-from-behind Silver medal by edging the home favourite British 8+ in the final 500 meters. The German 8+, undefeated since 2009, won the event. This Silver will now hang with the Gold Malcolm won in Beijing.

Dave Calder ’96 and Scott Frandsen ’98, who won their heat earlier this week, placed 3rd in their semi-final in the pair and advanced to the final Friday, August 3rd at 3:50 am. Dave and Scott earned Silver medals in Beijing.
Brentwood has a long and storied history of alumni who have gone on to become Olympians. In fact, since 1976, every Canadian Olympic rowing team has included at least one Brentwood athlete! As Rick Mercer quipped when he visited the campus in 2010, if Brentwood was a country at the Beijing Olympics, it would have placed 54th out of the 200 nations competing.
