Dairy Farmers of Manitoba Athlete of the Week

Josh McCharles of the Miami Marlins badminton team is this week’s Tri-Star Rural High School athlete of the week. Josh along with his doubles partner, Jordan Madill, won the Zone 4 boys doubles badminton championship to earn the opportunity to compete at this weekend’s Badminton Provincial Championships in Carman. During the year he placed 1st at the Regional & Maples tournaments, 2nd at Louis Riel and 3rd at Carman and Gimli tournaments. Coach Brent Unrau states, “On the court he plays the game the right way by having respect for his opponents and for the game. Beyond the court Josh is heavily involved in the school and the community of Miami. Being a K-12 school the elementary students and younger students really look up to Josh who is a first class person in and out of school”. This grade 12 student also competes in soccer and volleyball.
