Durham Attack Racks Up Medals
The Durham Attack 16U Black girls’ volleyball team won gold at two recent tournaments to finish off the regular season in style.
By winning the 17U Burgarski Cup Championship East in Peterborough, the girls finished off a season that saw them earn three gold medals, a silver and two bronze in the seven 16U/17U OVA tournaments they played in.
Earlier, at the Premier Tier 1 Challenge Cup, competing at the highest level against the top teams in Ontario, the team won 10 out of 11 sets.
Practising two days a week out of high schools in Oshawa and Whitby, in addition to training in Brooklin, the girls have worked hard for the results.
The girls represent Durham Region and reside in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax and Pickering.
Team members include Chantal Cormier, Brooke Eibbitt, Shannon Dean, Olivia Henderson, Rayan Bourne, Abbey Fulton, Jodi Mitchell, Rianna McNeill, Becky Wilson and Ashleigh Andzel. Coaches are John Dean, Mike Slean and Kevin Hellyer.
Established in 1992, Durham Attack is one of the premier volleyball clubs in Canada, with 11 national championships from 2006-2009.
