Cassidy Blair, Red Deer Queens, Women's Curling

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

As a first-year skip, Cassidy Blair has been a difference maker on the Red Deer Polytechnic Mixed Curling team. At the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Curling Championships, Blair helped the RDP team achieve a silver medal. The RDP Mixed Curling team had an impressive 2-1 record during round robin play but were edged by the Lakeland College Rustlers in the gold medal draw. The Bachelor of Kinesiology student was recognized as the ACAC Women’s Curler of the Year and as an ACAC Mixed Curling All-Conference team selection.

Lacombe’s Blair was a key contributor to her team’s success throughout the season, helping the squad earn a spot in the championships. At the ACAC Fall and Winter Regionals, Blair demonstrated her talent and incredible teamwork, helping to lead the Red Deer Polytechnic Mixed Curling team to a 12-0 record. The RDP team achieved the only undefeated record among 18 teams in three divisions at both regionals. 

GAME ON: A GLIMPSE AHEAD

Looking ahead, Blair and the Queens will represent the ACAC at the CCAA National Curling Championships in Fredericton, NB, from March 12-15.
