One hundred seventy-five student-athletes. Forty-two coaches. Ten student-trainers. One night to cap off an incredible 2022/2023 athletics season at Red Deer Polytechnic where five championship banners were hung up in the rafters in the Fas Gas - On the Run Gymnasium inside the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre.
On April 5, Red Deer Polytechnic held its annual Athletics Banquet which showcased the student-athletes, coaches, student-trainers, supporting staff, sponsors and donors that made the 2022/2023 season possible. Multiple awards were given out which included the Team Awards (Coaches, Most Improved, Most Valuable and Rookie of the Year), Allan Ferchuk Leadership Award and the Red Deer Bottling Male and Female Athletes of the Year.
Randy Stewart, manager of Athletics and Student Life, explained that an event like this one is a yearly reminder of what makes coming to the office every day so rewarding.
