KINGSTON, Ont. (March 27, 2024) - Queen's Football's Jared Chisari was named the Queen's University Outstanding Performance of the Year recipient for the 2023-24 season during the 88th annual Colour Awards banquet Wednesday night at the Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC).

The Outstanding Performance of the Year Trophy is presented annually to pay tribute to a student-athlete who has brought the most honour and recognition to Queen's University resulting from success in provincial, national and international competition in a twelve month period. 

Chisari (Masters-Sports Psychology) broke Queen's Football's single-season rushing yards record, surpassing Mike Giffin's 1,157 yards from the 2007 season, with an incredible total of 1,178 yards on the ground and seven touchdowns. Chisari, who was also named an OUA Offensive Player of the Week during the 2023 season, also broke Queen's Football's single-game record for touchdowns with five against the York Lions.

"Jared had the best rushing season in program history," said Queen's Football Head Coach Steve Snyder. "He set the single-season rushing record this past season and also set the program record of five touchdowns in a game. He was an integral part in our team's setting the school record for most points scored in a game in program history."
