Athlete of the Week

Athlete of the Week: Karel Tresnak Jr.

By Kanoa Leahey

He's kind of like the Tiger Woods of one-man canoe paddling.
Considered by most to be simply, the best.
Karel Tresnak Jr. once again provided evidence to that theory this past weekend when he, along with relay partner Alfred Van Gieson, claimed the Rhino Kaiwi Channel Relay World Championship.
It was the fifth time Tresnak has taken the title, each time with a different relay partner.
With an additional nod to Lauren Bartlett, who has done the same thing on the women's side....we honor Karel, with our KHON-2 Athlete of the Week.
