Thanks from the Langley Mustangs
This is a large style THANK YOU for all the support, encouragement, and good humor during our past week of challenge. We are not sure just what else could have gone wrong (maybe lightning strikes and a leprosy outbreak) but you were magnificent through venue change, freeway detours, blazing sun, monsoon rains, flooded electrical boxes and fields, and other disasters.
This last week has only confirmed something we already knew. The Track and Field Community of British Columbia is the VERY BEST. Thank you for your patience, your emails and kind words of cheer, and for your continued support of athletics in our province.
Earlier in this season, we had given the Langley Mustangs our resignation as meet directors, this Championships was our last event. We do plan to continue on volunteering as BCA Officials.
Again, thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at an event in the near future. Till then, we are off to South America on the 25th!
- Kevin and Sue

CROSS COUNTRY

Cross Country Training Camp
From Frank Reynolds: 
Get a jump start on the upcoming Cross-country season. I know it is early but plans are unfolding for our first ever NorWester/West Van Track Club's Joint Cross Country Training Camp at Whistler BC from August 25 - 28, 2003. This camp follows our very successful Spring Break Camp and promises to provide each high school athlete with tools to improve their performance in cross-country. Registration is limited so set those dates aside and email freynold@shaw.ca if you are interested. You will be kept abreast of details of the camp, meals accommodation, transportation and camp cost as they are worked out. We would like to see a good representation of North Shore High School athletes attend so the support of High School coaches is encouraged. Depending on the number of campers taking part, we may have a few rooms available for parents who would like to spend a few days at the site of 2010 and breathe in some of the excitement that will be brewing in Whistler. Stay tuned.
