Ontario men’s top volleyball recruit Garrett May has committed to the Western Mustangs. May, from Toronto, describes himself as a “very competitive” athlete.
Western men’s volleyball head coach Jim Sage said May will make an immediate impact.
“He’s one of the top recruits in Canada. We are counting on Garrett to make a contribution for many years to our program.”
Sage describes May as a player with “outstanding all-round skills” who can play a number of impact positions.
“I love to compete in every point. I try my best to work hard at practice and in the games, and I love it when it pays off,” he said.
A two-time OFSAA gold medallist (2009, 2008) at Birchmount Park, May is a member of the Crush Volleyball Club, he won silver at the 2010 nationals championship and was named an all-star. He also won an Ontario gold medal in 2010 and won the OVA’s Ken Davies Memorial Award.
He said he has several goals while at Western.
“At university I want to become a starter, and eventually win a CIS championship,” he said. “Short term, I want to win the U19 and U21 World Beach Volleyball Championships. My ultimate goal is to win a gold medal at the Olympics.”
May is also an accomplished beach volleyball player, carded by Canada’s National Beach volleyball team in 2008 and 2009, finishing 9th at the 2009 U-19 World Beach volleyball championships. He is a current member of Canada’s national beach volleyball team.
