The Alberta Sport Development Centre – Central (ASDC-C) is pleased to announce that the ASDC-Central Athlete of the Month for April 2020 is Shynelle Woroniuk.

Woroniuk is a 16-year-old Red Deer resident, Grade 11 student at Ecole Notre Dame High School and a competitive multi-sport athlete, including fastball, basketball, badminton, athletics and volleyball.

In the past year, Woroniuk won an ASAA Gold Medal in Mixed Doubles Badminton, a ASAA Bronze Medal in High Jump, an Aggregate 3rd at ASAA Athletic Provincials, and a Silver medal in Badminton Mixed Doubles at the 2020 Alberta Winter Games.

Last summer she was named to Volleyball Alberta’s Provincial 16U Women’s Team for the second year in a row and competed at Volleyball Canada’s Cup in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During her high school volleyball season, Shynelle was named to the All-Star Team at four different tournaments and was named to the League All-Star team.

Most recently, Woroniuk was selected by Volleyball Canada as one of 16 athletes from across Canada to join the National Excellence Program at the Team Canada Women’s Volleyball training centre in Richmond, B.C. for the fall semester.

In the classroom, Woroniuk is an Honours student at Notre Dame. Her goals include playing volleyball at a post-secondary level in either U Sports in Canada or NCAA D1 in the United States, and is currently considering several scholarship offers.
