Student Success Stories
Part 2
Kimani Hunt, 19, a Dean’s List student at Davidson County Community
College, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Storm Basketball team who serves
a role model for other students on and
off the court. With a 3.7 grade
point average for the fall 2010 semester and cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of
Feb. 18th, Hunt’s academic
excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught
the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who
offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball. Named to the 1st
team All Freshmen in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and
District H Championship teams, and he played with the Storm in last year’s 2010
NJCAA National Championship tournament. “Kimani
Hunt has been a leader for us the past few years both on and off the court,”
said DCCC Storm Head Coach Matt Ridge. “His
high standard of excellence has helped win many games, but it’s also helped him
achieve a lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him.”
Ken Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani is a kind and considerate student
athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic
leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and
he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from Riverside
High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to pursue a career in sports management.
