Summary
Kateryna Tepylo’s past curling season has the essence of a Cinderella story. Her team’s fourth place finish in the OCAA Championships shouldn’t have earned the Hawks a berth at the national championships. But thanks to a last minute drop out the Hawks had their chance to prove their talent. Like all good Cinderella stories there is a happy ending. Tepylo and her squad went from fourth seed in Ontario to second best team in the country as CCAA National silver medalists. Her academics are equally as impressive. Tepylo is a perennial honour roll student and junior in the Bachelor of Creative Advertising program. She is also one of 25 W. Garfield Weston Scholars in all of Canada that recognizes students who are passionate about their field and committed to making a difference in their community and society.
Looking forward, Tepylo said she is working towards another trip to Nationals with the Hawks and representing the province in the Ontario Junior Curling Tour, where she has been competing since 14 years of age.
