Running hot at Sub Zero meet

This year's sub zero heat was hot, and so were Quesnel runners.

It may be called the Sub Zero track meet, but last Saturday was anything but, with temperatures soaring to the high twenties as students from Red Bluff, QJS and Correlieu ran in the Prince George fun meet.

Eleven year-old Jett McCall held the flag for Red Bluff, raking in a couple of top places. She was the lone runner to place for Red Bluff.

QJS had a raft of students standing tall on the podium by the tournament’s end.

Grade eight students held their own at the races.

Nick Berlinguette took a first and a third. Olivia Baptiste took a first and a second. Katie Young took a couple of firsts and a second. Garce McTaggert and Zach McCall also took a first a piece. Cale Stone took a third.

The grade nine students did just as well.

Casey Richert took a couple of firsts, with a second place finsih as well. Kyr Teetzen took a first and a second. Amanda and Christine Lawrence took a first each, with the former also taking a second and the latter a third as well. Justin MacDonald took a raft of podium places including three second place finishes and a first. Telise Gauthier took two second place  positions.

Correlieu had less students, but also posted good results.

Justin Pike took a couple of first place finishes and a second place. Cheyenne Newman took a couple firsts and a third. James Entsminger took two seconds and an equal amount of thirds. Braden McCall climbed to the top of the podium once.

The purpose of the meet was to encourage beginners to come out and make a run for the money, while acting as a test for the zone championships later this month, May 23-24 in Prince George, for the experienced runners.
