Verot’s Castellon February Athlete of the Month
The votes are in for the Cape Coral Breeze’s February Athlete of the Month, and the winner is Bishop Verot High School’s Camila Castellon.
The senior has had a great postseason in the FHSAA 1A 110-pound division in girls weightlifting. Castellon finished first in Olympic and second in Traditional at districts. She followed that up with a first-place finish in Traditional (215 lbs.) and third in Olympic (195 lbs.) at regionals.
“This season I was in an accident and was out of practice for a month,” Castellon told The Breeze during her nomination week. “It was really hard for me since it’s my senior year, but I just focused on being better than the version of me from the day before. With the help of my family, coaches, and God, I did better than I could have ever imagined.
“Winning the district title in Olympic, getting second in Traditional, and winning the regional title for Traditional has been a goal for me since my sophomore year. I’ve put in a lot of hard work and I’m excited to be the first in my weight group at Verot to go to states.”
Voting for March’s Athlete of the Month will open toward the end of the month.
