Point Grey Community Track Project
Phase One (the Track) has been completed and we now need to work on
phase two: the Long/triple pole vault and high jump facility.
We are looking to fund-raise the capital to cover the cost which is
approximately $37,000 dollars which includes two long jump and one pole
vault lanes and a high jump apron finished with the same quality material
as the track.

Canadian Sport Centre Pacific Performance Services – INFINIT
Nutrition
Athletes train up to three times a day, seven days a week. They travel
to the ends of the earth to prove themselves against the best. They come
home with world titles, personal bests and sometimes disappointments, only
to do it all over again day in and day out, month after month. Training at
this level will take its toll on an athlete's health and performance. To
improve the odds, athletes looking for a competitive edge often turn to
supplements. The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) advises
athletes against the use of supplements as it is impossible to guarantee
they are free from prohibited substances, yet athletes continue to ask
for, and risk using, supplements. With this in mind Canadian Sport Centre
Pacific (CSCP) developed a partnership with INFINIT Nutrition Canada, a
provider of high quality, custom designed sport beverages.

Canadian Olympic Committee Calls for Applications for the 2008 Carol
Anne Letheren Leadership and Sport Scholarship
VANCOUVER, February 19, 2008 – The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC)
is now accepting applications for the 2008 Carol Anne Letheren Leadership
and Sport Scholarship.
The scholarship is a national, three-year, $1,500 per year, university
award presented to one outstanding female high school graduate. The award
is named in honour of the late Carol Anne Letheren (1942-2001), former
chief executive officer of the COC.
The Carol Anne Letheren Leadership and Sport Scholarship is given to a
female student (Canadian citizen or permanent resident) presently enrolled
at a Canadian high school or CEGEP (private or public) in her graduating
year and applying to a Canadian university or college in business, sport
management, marketing, physical education or related fields. In addition
to demonstrating qualities and personal values that personify the Olympic
values, the eligible candidate will have a minimum grade average of 85% in
her final year of high school. She will also be an accomplished athlete in
high school, community or provincial level competitive sport(s). Please
note that athletes competing at the national level (junior and senior)
will be given preference.
The COC administers the scholarship with the support of the Carol Anne
Letheren Foundation (CALF). CALF is the founding body of the scholarship
and is composed of close friends and colleagues of Letheren who are
committed to raising funds to ensure that more young women are able to
follow in Letheren’s footsteps to pursue leadership roles in business
and the sport community.
As CEO of the COC and member of the International Olympic Committee,
Letheren was an avid promoter of the Olympic values. Her passion for sport
and experience spanned more than four decades and included the following
high-profile roles: COC president, director of Toronto’s 2008 Olympic
bid, international gymnastics official and Chef de Mission for the Seoul
1988 Olympic Games. In many of these roles, Letheren was either the first
woman or first Canadian woman to hold the position, distinguishing her as
one of Canada's most prominent women involved with high performance sport.
To learn more on how to apply please visit www.olympic.ca/EN/funding/letheren_award.shtml.
Applications must be received at the COC Vancouver office by mail by 5:00
p.m. PST, April 11, 2008. Selections will be made shortly thereafter and
the successful candidate(s) will be notified by May 23, 2008.

2008 Track & Field Results - ACDirect Results Management System
Beginning in 2008 all Track & Field results will be centralized
through the ACDirect Results Management Systems. The document found at the

idea of how results will be handled.
With this system a national results program will be developed assisting
greatly in provincial and national rankings, archiving results etc. There
will be more information available in the near future and this information

selected a small but very competitive group of athletes who included the
World Indoors as part of their Olympic preparation.” Gramantik adds, “The

2008 BC SUMMER GAMES ~ ZONE 6
Once again this is a BC Summer Games year! Tom Dingle is the Zone 6
Representative and will post information about the zone trials on the
pentrack.org website. The travel arrangements for the Games have changed
this year and all athletes must be accompanied on the buses! This means
that we will need coaches and/or chaperones from the major centres on the
island and athletes will have to get to those centres on their own. So if
we only select our zone coaches from Powell River, all athletes will have
to travel to Powell River to be picked up for the Games. Ideally it would
be great to have coaches/chaperones from Comox/Campbell River, Nanaimo/Duncan
and Victoria/Sidney. We also must have a fully certified Level 2 coach
serving as our head coach. If you or someone in your club is interested in
joining the Games team, let Tom Dingle know. The final decision will be
made at the end of the Games Trials which will be held at the Garrioch
Meet in Duncan on June 7th and 8th.

Road Running
Hatley Castle 8K
At the Hatley Castle 8K, the 200+ spectators at the finish line were
treated to the closest, most thrilling race in the 26-year history of the
Island Series with two Harriers finishing 1/100th of a second apart! In
horse racing a photo finish shows which horse won by a nose. In track
racing, a photo finish shows which runner won the 100 metre race by his
torso crossing the line. Horse races and track races are usually won by
fractions of a second. Today we needed a photo finish at Royal Roads to
determine whether Eric Findlay or Nick Walker actually won Race #4 in the
eight-race Frontrunners Island Series. The finish-line judge gave the nod
to Eric who out-leaned Nick to take the victory. Both were timed in 26:28,
twenty-three seconds ahead of bronze-medalist Stephen Kilshaw. Within the
last 50 metres of the race the lead changed hands five times with either
Eric of Nick surging to pull 1/2 second or so ahead of each other. With 5
metres to go, both were stride-for-stride, shoulder to shoulder and
torso-to-torso. Eric's 1/100th second triumph gave him his second overall
victory at Hatley Castle as he won the race last year in 26:09. Kirsty
Smith, on the other hand, totally dominated the women's field breaking
Judith Leroy's course record by 21 seconds to win easily in 28:40. She was
9th overall of the 385 finishers, down 7 from last year's total of 392.
Second female was Marilyn Arsenault in 29:30 and Nancy Baxendale took
third in 31:20.
Summerland Centennial Half Marathon
What was supposed to have been a partly sunny day wasn’t that way at
all but the precip was at least light. Scott Tremblay (M35-39) of Kaleden
finished first overall in a time of 1:16:50, just shy of the course record
of 1:16:34, set by Steven Murenbeeld in the inaugural 2006 race. Meanwhile
Cindy Rhodes (F50-54) did set a new course record in the women’s
division, with her 1:33:10 finish. The other women’s medal placings went
to Shannon Thompson (F20-29) of Kelowna, second in 1:34:16 and Laurelee
Welder (F50-54) of Kelowna, third in 1:39:22. Last year’s overall
winner, Hans Aabye (M30-34) of Merritt, finished second overall in 1:19:18
with Sergio Pio (M40-44) of Penticton, claiming third in 1:23:32.
Road Running AGM
