Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Athlete of the Week

The Tire Recycle Rural High School Athlete of the Week is Kalin Winter of the St. Paul’s Barons volleyball team in Elie.

This 5’5” setter and left side has been the Barons most valuable player this season leading them to three straight tournament victories and one second place finish earlier in the season.  She was also instrumental in helping them to a perfect 6-0 record in Zone 4 league play.  Coach Craig Baron states, “Kalin possesses an incredible work ethic and a passion when it comes to volleyball. She leads by example with her skilled play and is a model competitor both on our team and within the school. Her skill as both a setter and a hitter is perhaps only bettered by the intelligence she displays on the court as the "quarterback" of our offence. Kalin is a consummate team player and is a real pleasure to coach!”

This grade 11 student maintains an 80% average, while also competing in badminton and track & field.
