Frederick, John '71 - Squash
John may have been the Ontario Open Squash Champion, Bermuda Open Squash Champion, Canadian Over 40 Squash Champion, Canadian Over 45 Squash Champion, and two-time Ontario Over 50 Squash Champion, but his greatest sport memory is about a running race—his first Boston Marathon.
It was to be the first of 31 consecutive Boston Marathons he has run. A tenacious competitor, dedicated and courageous athlete, and staunch supporter and developer of Canadian squash, John advocates for the joy of participation in sport at any level.
