Scholarship
Winner
Summary
Okela Sylvester may well be the most modest winner of an Etobicoke Sports Hall of Fame High School Scholarship. Although a three-sport star at Kipling Collegiate, she always deflected the limelight that should shine on her and her two Athlete of the Year awards onto her teammates and classmates. In her own journey and progression as an athlete, she states that it has never been about the wins and losses, but more about the skill development she has learned in each match. Away from the court, she applies this same all-for-one approach to her efforts in the community.
