Sr. Male Athlete of the Year... Josh Lorentz Josh excels in athletics and has achieved amazing success at the COSSA level in both individual and team pursuits as a member of the football, hockey, and track and field teams.

He is a leader both in the dressing room and on the ice, and he is well respected by his teammates and coaches for the high quality character he demonstrates in his role as team captain. He joined the track and field team in his grade 10 year and has since garnered a great deal of success as a member of this team, earning numerous COSSA and Eastern Regional appearances.
