Mean- while, Minute Muffler put the squeeze on Gemma Bath Tuesday, the 11-10 verdict moving them into a tie for second with Almwood. However, the Mufflers passed on a chance to take top | spot two nights later when they were themselves the victim of a single run loss, 13-12 at the hands of Safeway. There was more of the same in the PeeWee division where again four of five games were decided by just one run, two going in favour of the Kermode Friendship Centre.

We're learn more about becoming godly men. In ‘going lo be three short years this goal was realized at boiling over into 3 | the world and Promise Keepers ‘93. Since then, God has expanded our vision there's no oo to gather men in stadiums throughout the stopping us.” ee SO nation. More than an event, We believe ~ Don Longmont, CO “God wanls Promise Keepers to be a spark - in His hand to ignite a nationwide movement calling men to reconciliation, TERRACE WILL WIN the 1995 school track and field zone title. That’s the confident prediction Dave O’Brien, one of the team’s coaching quartet, And looking at the results of this year’s zone, it’s not hard to see why he’s looking forward to next year, Smithers took the titie again this time racking up 318 points to Terrace’s 224 with Prince Rupert well back at 133. But, O’Bri¢n emphasized, Smithers’ overall success was heavily dependent on its senior athleles, a division Terrace was short on. Given 188 of Terrace’s points came from its Bantams and Jun- fors, the point is well taken. ' Smither’s will lose most of their” seniors next year while Terrace Wh: ad The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, June 1, 1994 -C3 will see a number of their athletes move up to that calegory. Add in Terrace winning both the Bantam and Junior aggregate titles af this zone meet and the talented elementary school athletes who’li also be on the move and you have a recipe for SUCCESS. Explaining the aggregate titles ate settled on the points accumu- lated by both boys and girls in the division, O'Brien said the Bantam tiumph was delivered by Jamie Striker, Kaitland Kirk- wood, Bambi Healey, Solveig Adair, Carol Kozier, Joane Car- law, Ricki Chan, Chris Brown, Keith Webb, Brent Stokkeland and Scott Northridge. Highlights included Northridge, in’ his’ first’ ‘Tieet,’ “sending © the” javelin sailing more than 4m fur- ther than his personal best to take first in the event. The girls swept the top three spots in the shot and Kirkwood added to her shot third with a win in the high jump and javelin plus another third in the 4 x 100m relay. The Junior victory was all the more remarkable for Terrace hav- ing to rely on just seven athletes to get the necessary points and they’ were missing Roxanne Chow, lost to injury, and Nicole Rippon. Powering the squad to top spot were Dave Kelly, Steve Melton, Mike Davies, Jake Smith, Joey DaSilva, Felicia Arbuah and Justin Keitch. Facing stiff competition, Keitch came through with fying cofourd, winning both the 1500m. and a Cheers! AFTER 5KM and having just climbed Skeenaview Drive, — Vic Makela’s out- stretched arm and cup of water was a welcome sight for many of the runners in the 10km event at this year’s Kermodei Klassic.

O’Brien was also very happy with the Junior boys performance in the 200m where they finished second through fifth. On the Senior’s side, Lori Buteau was her usual impressive self, taking top Girl’s aggregate in that division. Although the main Irack season has now ended, elementary school athletes have their finale this Saturday. It gets underway at 9:30 a.m. at Skeena Jr. Secondary and is ex- pected to wrap up about 3:30 p.m. Seven schools will be taking part and Terrace Schools coaches like O’Brien will be on hand not just to watch, but also to scout the ‘up and coming talent they. hope ‘will make the, team. a, fare 19.,.b¢ reckoned with inthe ycarsrahead.' it is Promise Keepers?
