The Tire Recycle Rural High School Athlete of the Week is Jun Jun Taborlupa of the Hamiota Huskies volleyball team.

This 5’9” power hitter leads his teams in kills.  He has guided his team to the consolation championship of the U of M tournament and to victory at the Roblin tournament where he averaged 14 kills per match and earned MVP honours.  Coach Cory Smith states, “Jun Jun's drive and dedication is contagious. Whether at practice, in the weight room or on the court his focus is exceptional. Anything but his absolute best is unacceptable". 

This grade 12 student maintains an 80% average, while also participating in basketball, badminton, and track & field.
