Power/Speed Group & Distance Group Success at Ice Breaker Meet

Valley Royals Ice Breaker Meet March 2022
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

Valley Royals athletes at Kelowna meet in June 2021.

Two of our distance athletes Andrew Thomson and Reid Johnston shone in Kelowna this past weekend. Andrew Thomson continued to post huge personal record performances in both the open men’s 800 and 1500 meter events. Running 1:57 for 800 and 4:04 for 1500 Andrew is knocking on the door of scholarship level performance. Reid Johnston also continues to achieve PRs in the 800m with a 1:58 run this weekend, which starts to make him a runner to watch in the future. Well done boys!
