UW'S CAIRNS OFF TO BEACH VOLLEYBALL WORLDS
WATERLOO - The Waterloo Warriors are pleased to announce that left-side Duncan Cairns, who begins his first year with the Warriors in September, will represent Canada at the Under-19 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Bermuda this September.
Cairns was selected to attend National tryouts in Toronto this past March after his performance at the 2005 Beach Volleyball Under-18 National Championships, where he finished second with partner Tom Podstawka.
\"I am very excited to participate in this event. It is a chance to play with the best in the world,\" explains Duncan. "I am looking forward to the challenge and coming back to Waterloo with more experience and knowledge for my first year with the Warriors."
This is Duncan's first opportunity to represent Canada and the Warriors on the international stage.
\"Duncan is consistently improving his skill level and physical strength,\" says head coach Fernando Pardo. \"He recently was invited to the Team Ontario High Performance Centre, ranked as one of the best outside hitters in the province.\"
The Beach Volleyball World Championships will take place September 5-10, in Bermuda.
