Throws Athletes Perform Brilliantly at BC High School Track and Field Championships

I’m very pleased, and I’m very proud as I review our results from this past BC High School Track and Field Championships. Since taking on the Throws Coach role this past September, I’ve had the honour to witness friendships build, interests grow and so many improvements. There is nothing more rewarding than watching young, talented athletes improve and grow as not only athletes but as a community and human beings.

I’m looking forward to the next few years as these great athletes listed below continue to grow but also help to lead and guide their younger training partners.
