He holds numerous records from when he participated in the Thames Valley District School Board's track and field championships, including the fastest time for the 2004 Open Boys 800 meter.
Not one to sit idle, Scott finds time to be a member of the Richwood/Drumbo United Church's youth group, practices martial arts with the United Family Martial Arts club and enjoys helping out with refereeing and coaching.
He's an excellent student with an 'A' average, and winner of both the Frank Leuszler and Fred Shoemaker awards in grade eight. He is working towards continuing his athletic and academic success in university one day.
Congratulations Scott, and good luck! |
