Congratulations to our Valley Royals Cross Country Runners who participated at the BC Club Championships this past weekend in South Surrey. Despite some bad colds and injury difficulties, our athletes showed well against the best runners in the province. Of particular note was Adrianna Buitelaar’s 4th place in the U16 division, placing her as the top 14 year old; Damian Sutton’s very strong 5th in the province; and Zoe Unger starting to get back to form with a 7th place performance in the U18 division. Our U16 boys team of Sam May, Will Van Schagen, Miles Graham, Riley Simmonds, and Arata Nakanishi put in a great effort but were just edged out for the provincial championship by Penticton.
A big congratulations goes out to our JD competitors who represented us proudly. Well done Royals. – Coach Scott
