This Grade 8 student-athlete from Hatley, Quebec is in her second year on the junior girls soccer team. This past week, Kaitlyn played a huge role in the junior girls' first victory in two years. Not only was it the first goal of her Spartans career, it was also a very important goal, as it led her team to a 1-0 victory vs our purple rivals down the 143. For her hard work and dedication during practice and games, combined with her goal scoring ability, Kaitlyn is recognized as Athlete of the Week.
Athlete of the Week has been awarded to two deserving students: Camille Richard, of the varsity girls hockey team, and Darlene Ouimette, of the junior girls soccer team.
In only her first year at the junior level, this Grade 9 central defender from Magog, Que. has been such a natural leader in the first three weeks of the season that she has already assumed the mantle of unofficial captain of the back line.
Every successful soccer team needs solid defence, which usually means four defenders at the back. But thanks to AOTW Tamara Wood-Downey and her two defensive teammates, Sophia Farfan and Joliane Legault, this year’s junior girls soccer team has been able to outnumber teams in the midfield by playing with just three defenders.
