Among all the excitement during the 2017 Sportsman Dinner was some well deserved hardware that got handed out.

Grade 12 student athlete Kourtney Kobitz took home the honor of the Boston Pizza Estevan and District Female Athlete Of The Year.

"I was pretty excited and surprised too, I was honored," said the senior from ECS.

Kobitz mentioned her coach Jesse Smoliak as an influence over the last four years.

 "It was great we made it to provincials for the first time in eleven years."

 "I've been with her for four seasons, we've become really close."

 Not only is Kourtney involved in athletics, she was also nominated for the Young Women of Today award at the recent Women Of Today Awards.

 "My parent's are great role models, my coaches, friends and teammates all support me."

 "I feel like its good to give back to the community, I've always been involved," she added.
