We are happy to have the JDs and pole vaulters join the middle distance group at Rotary Stadium this week. As the spring air settles into the valley, it is great to bring the larger Valley Royals group together again.

Power/Speed Group & Distance Group Success at Ice Breaker Meet
Power/Speed Group
Congrats to members of the Valley Royals Power/Speed group for their excellent performances at the 2022 “Ice Breaker” meet, held in Langley on Saturday, March 5th. Although the meet offered only a limited number of events, athletes took the opportunity to show off all the hard work they’ve done over the fall and winter.
Evan Booth, Carter Thiessen, Luke Wight, Sanaa Musonge, Tristan Steiger and Charlie Franson all opened their seasons with personal bests in the 200m. Vanessa Piranni also performed well in both the 300meter hurdles and 100 meter hurdles. The power speed athletes joined forces with the athletes from the distance crew to run some strong 4 x 400meter relays.
Well done, team.-Coach Trevor
Distance Group
Our Valley Royals distance group took advantage of the bright sunshine and great conditions this past Saturday to record some outstanding season opening performances. In particular Mark Molina ran an amazing 4:14.11 in his first ever 1500m, a time that in years past would put him in the medals at BC high schools in the junior division. Halle May ran a huge personal best in the 1500m with a 5:05.76 which was just under 10 seconds faster that her peak season performance from last season, and virtually all our distance group athletes put strong opening marks on the board.
A big congratulations goes out to all our athletes who represented us proudly.-Coach Scott
