Kevin Cloet - August 19, 2004
This week's TCO Athlete of the Week, Kevin Cloet, is a top finisher on the track and in the classroom.
A recent graduate of Assumption College, Kevin was a member of the school's Track and Field team throughout his high school years. He specialized in relay races. In 2000 he was a member of the midget boys 4 x 100 metre relay team that won first place in Brant County, and took bronze at OFSAA. He was also a member of the Brant County Secondary School Associations top relay team in 2002.
In addition to his participation on school teams, Kevin was a member of the Brantford Track and Field Club from 1997 to 2000. He also played six years of CYO Basketball from 1994 until 2000.
In 2003 and 2004 Kevin took part in Assumption College's Relay for Life, a charity event that raises money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Both years he belonged to a ten-person team that helped raise $1000 in donations. Kevin travelled to the United States on two occasions to volunteer with the Mennonite Disaster Relief Service, helping re-build homes in Tennessee and Virginia that were ravaged by hurricanes and tornadoes. During the spring he volunteers with the Snowmobile Association, clearing the trails.
Throughout his time at Assumption College, Kevin distinguished himself academically, winning several awards. He is an Ontario Scholar who was on the school's Honour Roll from Grade 9 through to Grade 12. He finished his final year of high school with a 97% average, and at his graduation he received several accolades in the sciences, including the Anthony Mancuso Memorial Award. He is also the winner of an Athletic-Academic award from the local Bison's Alumni.
This fall Kevin plans to study Engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He hopes to continue participating in sport at the intramural level, and aspires to use his education in engineering to help develop advances in the field of pollution control.
Congratulations Kevin, and good luck! |
