He was a Peak Performance and Junior Olympic Championship participant in a handful of events, including the 2k steeplechase, 5,000m, and 1,500m races, where he finished top ten regionally on numerous occasions.

Expected to pursue a degree in business, Warkentin hopes to one day serve as a firefighter or paramedic.
