BIG
CONGRATS TO THE PARKLAND SMALL BUT MIGHTY TRACK AND FIELD TEAM -
everyone did so well at the meet in Port Alberni last week! Every
athlete we sent received at least one top 8 placing in the ISLANDS which
is a fabulous achievement!
Misaki
Akutagawa place 1st in Senior Girls Javelin - with a throw of 39.65
metres - 6.5 metres better than 2nd place! All the other javelin
throwers and spectators cheered her on! Wonderful to see such
sportsmanship at her event!
Ben Sammons placed 2nd in two Seniors Boys events: 200 meetre, and 400
metre. Extremely close races in very hot conditions, and a wonderful
result!
Cooper Langar place 3rd in 1500 metres - the top three finishers were
in a photo finish, a very exciting race! Cooper also placed 5th in the
3000 metres, in another very close race. Alexis Vander Bulk came 5th in Junior Girls Shot Put, and 9th in 100 metres. Leona Yao, came 6th in Senior Girls Long Jump, and 7th in Triple Jump! Congratulations, Leona! Ava Blakely, in grade 9, came 8th in the 3000.
Top
5 finishers in each category go on to the B.C.'S, so Misaki, Ben,
Cooper, and Alexis will represent Parkland and the Island at the next
round - our
athletes are all heart, and Parkland CONGRATULATES every one! Thank you
too, for Ms. McNamee, for leading and supporting and cheering on!
