«aBBaaiaiiïtm^ < i Bowman ville, Wednesday, July 20, 1994 The Canadian Statesman Volleyball Player Given Opportunity To Play for Canada's National Team by Brad Kelly In slightly over a year, volleyball player Dustin Reid has made a leap that not even the world record holder holder in the long jump could match. In the past 12 months, the 20- ycar-old Orono resident made the transition from playing high school volleyball at Clarke, to suiting up for the varsity team at the University University of Toronto. If that weren't a big enough jump, the young phenom was recently recently selected as a member of Canada's Canada's national volleyball team. This is a team, he revealed, that he didn't have intentions of playing for originally. Earlier in the summer he attended attended an open tryout for those interested interested in vying for a spot on Canada's national 'B' team. While at the tryouts, he held some discussions with the coaches of the top program in Canada. When they learned of his desire to play on the 'A' team, they quickly quickly signed him to a one-year contract. "It came as quite a shock," said Reid of how the whole situation unfolded. unfolded. Until May of next year, he will concentrate his efforts full-time on volleyball while based in Calgary with die team. Beyond that lies uncertainty. The head coach, Clemente Lemieux, will re-evaluate the program, and then pick the team that is likely to represent represent Canada at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Reid is hoping to be one of the select few to wear Canada's colors at the largest athletic event in the world. When they learned of Dustin's desire to play on the 'A'team, they signed him to a one-year contract "I have to go to every practice and be the hardest worker at each practice," he said. "I have to show up in shape and work hard. If you work hard, the players respect you. They have been just great. ' ' The team just recently returned from a lour of the United States, and is beginning preparations to compete compete at the World Championships the end of September in Athens, Greece. Because of the tight financial restrictions restrictions that the national program is under, Reid hasn't been confirmed confirmed as one of the players who will accompany the team to Greece. His position on the national team has reunited him with an old friend and foe on the volleyball court. Reid, along with Paul Duerdon, co-captained the provincial team that won a Canadian championship last year. The two were on opposite sides of the net two years ago when they led their respective high schools to the gold medal match at the OFSAA 'AAA' volleyball championships. In that game, Duerdon led his Oak- ridge school from London to the title. title. Now the two have linked up again, this time at the highest level available to players in this country. Since graduating from high school, Reid played a season with the U of T while studying phys-ed. The young team placed third overall in their division. "It would have been an upset to win our semi-final match against Queen's," said Reid. "We should have won but we didn't. It was a good season, with a disappointing ending." Now, with his intentions squarely on solidifying a spot on the national team, he will be taking a year's leave of absence from university. If things don't work out and his contract contract isn't extended next spring, he will join Canada's *B' team, and return return to school in the fall of 1995.
