Decorated Oak Bay High coach joins Vikes
VICTORIA - Keith Butler, one of the most accomplished high school
coaches in the province, will join the UVic Vikes cross-country and middle
distance team as an assistant coach. Butler comes to the Vikes as head
coach of Oak Bay High School.
"I'm really happy that he wants to take his coaching to another
level," said Vikes head coach Brent Fougner. "Keith will have an
immediate impact on the quality of our team."
Butler has coached the cross-country and track teams at Oak Bay for the
past 21 years. Since 1995, he has led the Bays to an unprecedented 25 B.C.
Provincial championship titles. In the past year, Oak Bay swept the track
and cross-country titles to become the first school to accomplish this
feat.
"It's an exciting opportunity for me," said Butler. "I
went to school here, and ran here myself, so I'm really looking forward to
working with Brent (Fougner) and the team."
The former All-Canadian competed for the Vikes for five seasons, from
1981-86. Butler earned All-Canadian honours after placing fifth at the
1983 Cross-Country National Championships, and in 1986 was the Canada West
champion in the 5,000-metre.
In addition to his coaching duties, Butler will also be responsible to
recruiting and alumni relations.
Butler graduated from UVic in 1986 with a Bachelor's of Education and
just completed his Masters of Coaching Studies.
One of Butler's first orders of business will be conducting a
cross-country summer camp, for runners 13-17, at Camp Barnard. The
residential camp will combine daily training sessions with a variety of
fun activities. The camp runs August 10-15, and for more information you

World Indoor Masters Championships in 2010
Kamloops will fly the flag of the World Championships at Tournament
Capital Centre to promote the event coming here in 2010. Parks, Culture
and Recreation director, Byron McCorkell, Recreation director, Scott
Hartman, President of the Kamloops Track and Field CLub, Judy Armstrong
and past director, Al McLeod spent March 14-22 in Clermont- Ferrand,
France taking in the world masters indoor athletic competition, talking to
people, meeting with the local organizing committee, the WMA and getting a
sense of what needs to get done to host these games. "We got the flag
and now the work begins. The competition in France involved 3600 athletes
from 60 countries between the ages of 35-99."
Early estimates have suggested that over 2000 athletes will participate
but Armstrong predicts more than that after being in France and the
athletes’ reaction after informing people about Kamloops. Plus this is
the first time it will be held in North America so the contingent from
here will be large.
We look forward to hosting a great event; an event that people from all
over the world will want to participate in. We are fortunate enough to
have a very good official base in Kamloops and in BC and the volunteer
base in the city. We have the new facilities and the infrastructure to put
this together and we are very excited about it.
