Student success statement part 2

Kimani Hunt,19 a dean’s list student at Davidson county community college, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Storm basketball team who serves as a role model for other students both on and off the court. With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and a cumulative basketball point total of 765 of Feb.18h, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball. Named to the 1^st team All Freshmen in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H Championship teams, and he played with the Storm in last year’s 2010 NJCAA National Championship tournament. “Kimani Hunt has been a leader for us the last few years both on and off the court”, said DCCC Storm Head Coach Matt Ridge. “His high standard of excellence has helped us win many games, but it’s also helped us win many games, but it’s also helped him achieve a lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him”. Ken Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani is a kind and considerate student athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academics leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes”. Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to purse a career in sports management.
