Kamloops' Greg Stewart is quite the superstar athlete!
After dominating the basketball and volleyball courts for the TRU WolfPack in years past, the 7'2" man can add a World Para Athletics silver medal to his trophy case.
Stewart was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, today to compete in the men's shot put. In the process of taking second-place, Stewart also set three Canadian records.
