Good Pay-Day For Pierre-Luc Thériault, Eugene Wang |
Good things come in threes, or at least in a pair. Pierre-Luc Theriault received the LA CAPITALE Bursary For Academic Excellence of $4,000. Putting the new funds to good use, Theriault traveled to Florida for the Florida Open where he promptly won the Open Singles competition.
After Florida, Theriault joins the Canadian team for the US Open in Las Vegas.
Success in Florida and in Markham
