This month's student athlete spotlight is shining down on Chantal Kairouz. Chantal is a third year starter on the Elgin Park Senior GIrls Soccer team. She is a rock at the heart of defence and a real team leader. This year Chantal has been named captain of the team and looks to lead them back to the Fraser Valleys with a young squad comprised mainly of juniors in grades 8, 9 and 10).

With Chantal's leadership and determination there is no doubt in our mind that the girls will have a very successful 2018 season. Best of luck Chantal!

Olivia Desrosiers - Sr Girls Basketball

This month's student athlete spotlight is Olivia Desrosiers. Olivia is one of the lone grade 12's on the Senior Girls Basketball. It was her commitment to the sport and program that lead to the formation of a Senior team this year. As a result of her dedication many girls at ELgin were able to participate in a fun filled Senior girls season.

When not on the court playing, Olivia volunteered countless hours to help officiate other basektball games at Elgin. She was a wizard on the score clock and score sheet!

Elgin Park Athletics thanks you for your years of service to the basketball team and athletics program. Best of luck in your adventures in sport and life beyond Elgin.

To get our new feature started, the spotlight is shining on two athletes.

Joseph Piccolo

Joseph is a busy guy around Elgin.  Be it studying hard for his academics, helping with STUCO, or playing on the Senior Boys Soccer team he is always on the go.  But outside of Elgin, Joseph dedicates a large amount of his time and effort to kickboxing.  All that effort paid off this past August when Joseph became the IKF Novice Men’s Super Middle Weight World Champion.  That's right; WORLD CHAMPION.  Way to go Joseph.  What an amazing accomplishment!
​
Coleman Walters

Coleman is the proud captain of the Senior Boys Soccer team.  Despite limited success on the scoreboard, Coleman is a great leader.  He motives his teammates and ensures everyone is held accountable.  Coleman is also one heck of player.  His speed, strength and athleticism make him a rock at the back for any opponent to try to get around.  Being that Coleman is only in grade 11, he will have one more season to dawn the purple and black and try to take the Orcas back to the playoffs.
