Mark Dupuis, your unrelenting drive and natural talent made you
one of the greatest track and field athletes in WPI's history. Your
leadership didn't stop off the field-you were also honored for
academic achievements in your last three years at WPI and were
voted president of the varsity club.
During your sophomore, junior and senior years, you didn't just
lead the track and field team to victory in the shotput and discus,
you were the top scorer each of the three years.
A letterman in football and track, you were accordingly dubbed
"Muscles" by your peers, who also voted you track co-captain in
your senior year. You set a school record in the shotput with a
toss of 49 feet, 3.5 inches, and another in the discus with a hurl
of 153 feet, 8 inches.
And when you weren't succeeding on the field, you were excelling
in the classroom. Because of your academic determination, which
included distinction on the Dean's list in your sophomore, junior,
and senior years, you were recognized as one of
the nation's outstanding student-athletes and were featured in
Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.
Mark Dupuis, it is with great pride that we pay tribute to your
remarkable achievements by inducting you tonight in the WPI
Athletic Hall of Fame.
