Road ghoad py Team Spirit shines in pool THE BLUEBACKS may’ not have been top of the points table at the Smithers Invitational, but they were winners in their eyes. “Tf there was an award for team spirit, we would have won it,’’ said assistant coach Josslyn Bagg, recalling the loud cheering Bluebacks set up for their team- tates throughout the meet. And they had a lot to cheer about: two overali golds and six silvers, a half dozen top-three fin- ishes in the sprint eliminator and at least one personal best time ribbon for every member of the - eam: Terrace dominated in the girls 13-14 years division where Stacey Parr and Marcie Pritchard, both 13, swept the tap two medals, Parr won all five of her events while Pritchard finished with two wins and three runner-up spots. And on the boys side of that age class, Ian MacCormac provided the other gold, winning the 200m IM, 100m Free and 200m Free en route ta the overall title. Bluebacks were also strong in the 11-12 years division where Judt Stevenson took the girls sil- ver and Jason Kumpolt and Bryan Palahicky shared second overall. Stevenson posted four best limes and wor both her 50m Back and 50m Fly, Kumpolt slashed more than two sconds off his time in winning the 50m Back and Palahicky picked up two vic- tories which included a pb in the 50m Breast, The Bluebacks other medals came at opposite ends of the ape range. Liam Murphy scored silver in the under-10 boys group while Danicl MacCormac, with three wins and two secands, duplicated in 15 years and up. Although unable to crack the medals, Shauna Palahicky , 10, had an impressive meet, going five-for-five on personal bests. She set the tone in her first race, the 50m Back where she lowered her mark by more than three-and- a-half seconds. Her result was even more star- ting in the 100m Free where she © demolished her previous fastest by nearly seven seconds, The highlight of the meet came on the Sunday with the sprint eliminator, something new at regional meets, Raced as a 50m Free, the eliminator featured all swimmers taking part in heats, the fastest eight in each age group moving on to the semis, then the fastest four from there going into the finals, Stacey Parr and Tan Mac- Cormac again emerged with first place finishes. Marcie Pritchard and Daniel MacCormac stroked to seconds and Liam Murphy and George Joseph took third in their respec- tive age groups, Volleyball elementary TERRACE ELEMENTARY schools wrap up their volleyball season this Saturday with the an- nual Grade 6 and 7 tournaments, Grade 6 action takes place in is this it? “This could be the one we've been waiting for.’’ That’s the word from Terry Browa of the Cross Country ski club.

Ken Gibson Lineup promising THIS WEEKEND the Terrace schools wrestling team beads for Hazelton and its first tournament of the season, They'll be in tough against long established and strong teams from communitics to the east, but Ter- race will be fielding some very competitive wrestlers. Leading the pack will be Grade 12s Greg Buck and Matt Kerby. Both made it to the AAA provin- cials last year, each picking up a sixth in the 70kg and 84kg classes respectively, a _ At those championships Kerby ‘racked up four straight wins be- fore running into the eventual gold medalist. An injury in the match also cost him a shot at bronze, Facing tough competition, Buck had bad luck with the draw, the samme opponcnt deating him in both the A and B sides of the double knockout, “This is their year,”? coach Joe Murphy predicted, He’s also expecting strong per- fonnances from two other poten- tial provincial prospects. Grade 11s Shane Wilson (60kg) and Philip Lincoln (78kg) arc both retumces who he described as ‘‘experienced and motivated?’ After a four year layoff, Erie Milhomens returns to the team for his final year of eligibility and is one to watch, Also back will be Agit Jaswal, 41kg, the youngest member of the team —- Grade 8.

They swell the ranks of the team to 25 and with five coaches — Murphy, Reine Dusdal, Em- -manucl Cenlagoya and Dave O'Brien - they won’t be short of instruction.
