Grunert is a Gr. 9 student at the YRHS. Throughout this year she has participated in soccer, Gr. 9 volleyball (where she received the Sportsmanlike Award), basketball (received the Academic Award) and badminton.
Outside of school, she plays on the Yorkton Blitz volleyball team and is in competitive soccer with the Yorkton United FC.

The Cab Clothing Yorkton Regional High School Male Athlete of the Month for April is Darrent Tillman.
Tillman is in Gr. 12 at the Regional and participated in several sports during his four years at the YRHS.
He always loved curling since he was about 12 years old. This year being his final year of high school curling, he really wanted to make it to provincials, and he did. His team won gold at districts and at regionals but lost out in provincials.
Badminton is his other sport.
At this year's Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) Regional tournament, he played well enough to qualify for the provincials. He has been playing since elementary at Springside School. So this year being his final year of high school, he wanted to do better than the previous year.
He has won four gold medals and one silver medal this season and recently won gold at districts and silver at the regionals. Other activities on Tillman's list include: playing guitar, tennis, golfing and hanging out with friends. His plans for the summer are to work as a maintenance person at the Good Spirit Bible Camp, and his plans for next year are to go to SIAST in Moose Jaw for drafting school for three years and eventually find a career in drafting.
