A competitive volleyball athlete from Red Deer has been named the Alberta Sport Development Centre – Central (ASDC-C) Athlete of the Month for October.

Colby Nemeth is a 17-year-old Grade 12 student at Lindsay Thurber High School (LTCHS) and was a member of the 2018 LTCHS Senior Boys Volleyball Team that finished 8th in the 2018 ASAA 4A Provincial Championships. The Raiders are currently ranked #2 in ASAA 4A Boys Volleyball in 2019.

This season, Nemeth captured an All-Star Award at the U of A Bears High School Invitational, and MVP honors at Harry Ainlay’s TVT Volleyball Tournament in Edmonton.

ASDC-C officials say the Raiders are looking forward to securing a spot in this year’s ASAA 4A Provincial Championships at Jasper Place High School in Edmonton, the week of November 21 – 23.

This past summer, Nemeth was a member of both the Volleyball Alberta 17U Provincial Team for both indoor and beach volleyball. With Team Alberta’s indoor team, Nemeth and his teammates travelled to Korea to compete in early July and returned to compete at the Canada Cup Championships in Halifax, NS where the team captured the Bronze Medal.
