Alberta Alpine and the Read Family are pleased to announce Jesse Kertesz-Knight (Banff Alpine Racers/Jasper Ski Club) as the recipient of the 2022 Dee Read Memorial Athletic Award.
 
The purpose of the award is to assist an Alberta Ski Team athlete whose goal is to represent Alberta and Canada at the highest levels of international competition. This annual award is named in honour of Dee Read, an athlete, leader and official who loved ski racing and teaching people about the joys of our amazing mountains. She instilled this love in her family and hundreds of others who worked closely with her over a half century of involvement with Canadian alpine ski racing.
 
“Jesse is a dedicated and hard-working athlete that is always striving to achieve and exceed his goals. A testament to his drive is the 7 FIS wins and 5 other FIS podium results he secured this season. Beyond strict athletics he is a devoted teammate that everyone enjoys being around. When you find him on the hill he is always smiling and happy to lend a hand to competitors, coaches, and teammates alike.” -Josh Benge, AASA Athletic Director Read more.
