Alberta athletes that are being recognized as the 2012 Athlete of the Year can be found on snow and ice, on the court or in the water in their chosen sport. These young men and women encompass a variety of sports that span from bobsleigh, ski cross, swimming, racquetball and curling.

When Mount Royal University student Jessica Groeneveld landed in Puerto Vallarta on Feb. 15, she wasn’t headed for Mexico’s famous beaches.

Instead, she embarked on a three-and-a-half hour drive over dusty mountain roads to the small desert town of Union de Tula, Jalisco.
