Chatham-Kent’s 2016 Male Athlete of the Year Final Four nominees – From top left clockwise: Steve Eldridge, Lee Kucera, Jonah Pataki, Dillon Liberty
We’ve reached the Final Four! After more than 1800 votes were cast last week, we’ve narrowed CKSN’s 2016 Chatham-Kent Male Athlete of the Year voting to four… and they are Steve Eldridge, Lee Kucera, Dillon Liberty, and Jonah Pataki.
Voting re-opens today (Thursday), and stays open until Christmas Eve. Once again, you can vote via the poll below, and can earn a second vote by commenting. As well, Facebook comments, and Twitter retweets on posts about each athlete count toward the total.
Win or lose. You should be extremely proud of your achievements. You have not only represented yourself and family well but also Chatham-Kent. Best of luck
I love the look of focus in that pic of Lee! Very deserving among a great final 4 of top athletes. Good luck Lee!
I’m proud to say I had the privelege of training you way back when all of this success was part of a plan yet to unfold. I don’t think javelin was even in the mix at the time! Great to see you continually striving (and attaining) excellence:).
Steve Eldridge always puts on a great performance. He’s shown what a true champion is. Always respectful in victory and in defeat. I would be proud if any of my son’s great up to be like this man.
Steve Eldridge, a dedicated fighter. And text book example of class in and out of the cage. Won 3 championships in 7 months including a provincial mma Title.
