Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Athlete of the Week

The Tire Recycle Rural High School Athlete of the Week is Kaitlyn Warkentine of the Landmark 96ers volleyball team.

This 5’10” middle hitter led the 96ers to a tournament win at Treherne and 3rd place finish in Sanford.  She also led them to a perfect 4-0 record in Zone 13 league play and helped them qualify for the upcoming Provincial “AAA” Volleyball Championships.  Coach Rob Giesbrecht states, “Katy is a great leader who leads by example with her all out effort and positive encouragement to her teammates. She is our 'go to' hitter when we need a big point, I can always trust her to get the job done. Katy has developed amazing court sense and ability to anticipate plays on defense. She is definitely a talented player in all aspects.”
