Kelsey and Chris Elliott of Reston Collegiate finished off their high school sports year on a positive note. They won the 2011 Men's Doubles Provincial Badminton Championship for the second year in a row. It was their third time competing at Provincials, winning third at their first appearance in 2009. This year they were undefeated in their pool in a round-robin format. In the second day, playoff format, their only loss was in the A side final. They were able to win the B side and had to win the next two games against the team that they lost to earlier to capture the title. Pictured here are Mr. Calendar (coach), Kelsey, Mrs. Bartel (coach), and Chris.

Graduating All Star Team!

Congratulations to Chris Elliott and Kelsey Elliott for being selected to this years 2010 Graduating Volleyball All Star Team! They were 2 out of the top 24 graduating volleyball players from A, AA and AAA school volleyball teams from the province. Held in Winnipeg at the St. John's Ravenscourt gym on December 4, Chris Elliott competed with friends and competitors in a fun and intense match. Kelsey was unable to play due to an injury that occurred earlier in the season. The game consisted of 2 sets each of 20 minutes in length, in which team gold (Chris and Kelsey’s team) won 67 to 58. A big congratulation goes out to them as being only the 2nd and 3rd players from the Reston boy’s volleyball team to make the team. The only other was Landon Brockman back in 2007.
