Ziggy’s Air Force

British Columbia has been well known for the site of the Abbotsford Airshow for over 50 years. But now there is a growing awareness of another type of high flier. This reputation of defying gravity has no jet engines but tremendous muscular energy released by fast twitch fibers of the entire body. Yes, this is not high flying but high jumping. Perhaps this new breed should be named the “Ziggy’s Air Force”.

Three VR Runners Guide Sardis to FV Cross Country Title

Three Valley Royal runners propelled Sardis Secondary School to the Fraser Valley Senior Boys team title over the 6,300-meter course …..

Three Valley Royal runners propelled Sardis Secondary School to the Fraser Valley Senior Boys team title over the 6,300-meter course in the meet held a week ago Wednesday in the pouring rain at White Rock’s Crescent Beach Park.

Kristian Biela was fourth, Tanner Geary came fifth and Daniel James in eighteenth place, were the three Valley Royal athletes on the Sardis team. Owen Wright, the only non-club runner who was a scoring member of the Sardis team, placed 20th in the field of 157 runners.

Sardis scored 32 points to edge out second place Walnut Grove (37 points) with Semiahmoo well back in 3rd (68 pts.). Sixteen teams scored points in the senior boys race.

It was an excellent team effort for Sardis and by far Biela’s best performance in cross country. Geary, who was still feeling the affects of the BC Athletics CC Championship held just four days prior ran a strong race despite his tiredness. Daniel James, who is in grade 10 and eligible for the junior boys competition, took part in the senior boys run to assure that Sardis would win the team championship.

In the junior girl’s 4,700m competition grade nine runner Rachel Mortimer finished with a very creditable third place. Mortimer stayed in close contact through most of the race but lost a little ground over the final 500 meters. Unfortunately, Mortimer may have sustained a leg injury on the very slippery course and might have to miss Saturday’s BC HS Championship.

Other performances recorded by Valley Royal athletes saw Kate Sokolowski place 15th and Erica Johnston 21st in the senior girls competition, Parmvir Waring was 12th in the senior boys race and Gurleen Gill came 15th in the junior girls run.

All the above Valley Royal runners have qualified to run for their perspective schools in this Saturday’s BC High School Championships that take place at Jericho Beach Park in Vancouver.

VR Athletes at the Provincial XC Championships

The Valley Royals distance group traveled to Nanaimo this past weekend to compete in the Club Provincial Championships.

Joshua Carsience has been having a stellar season and once again he stepped up and ran a strong race in the championships. Josh placed 2nd in the 13-year old boys division, just 13 seconds off the lead, covering the 3km course in the very good time of 9 minutes 35 seconds. His teammate Kai MacKenzie also had a great race placing 8th in a time of 10.17.

The girls were led by Rachel Mortimer, who once again showed why she is considered to be one of the provinces best middle distance runners in her age category. Rachel covered the 3km course in 9.58, finishing in second for the 14 year old girls age class, just 11 seconds off the lead. Gurleen Gill and Hannah Grossmann were in the same race placing 20 and 24 respectively.

Daniel James, the lone Valley Royal in the Midget Boys division, ran his best race of the season placing 7th covering the 3km course in 9.12.

Kate Sokolowski and Harneet Uppal competed in the Youth Women’s division placing 18th and 19th with finishing times over the 4km course of 16.18 and 19.24 respectively.

Best known as an 800-meter runner, Tanner Geary put forth his best effort of this cross country season in the very competitive Youth Men’s 5-k race. For most of the distance Tanner stayed with the top runners in the competition and was able to finish in 13th place with a time of 16.42.

Erica Johnson raced 6km in the Junior Girls Division placing 17th in a time of 23.31. Many of the athletes will be competing for their high school in the Fraser Valleys later on this week.
