. The first event on ‘the 20th was’
also an 80-K and the trouble

Christensen, who plans to
compete in several out-of-town
events this summer, .came

through in the final 80-kilometer -

road race on Monday the 22nd.
He and a Calgary rider were
neck-and-neck. on the final
stretch when Mike turned on the
Jets to nip him at the finish line.

It was-a turn-around race —

40-K out and 40-K back. The’

last kilometer was a more-or-less
downhill sprint, but the three

prior kilometers were: uphill.

That’s where. Mike and the
Calgary rider broke away from

‘the pack. His winning time was -

two hours, two minutes. .

Elementary school track and

field meet first in long time -

It’s been several years since
Terrace elementary schools got
together for a one-day track and
field meet. They rectified the
situation late last month with a
big meet at Skeena school
grounds.

Organizers called it highly
successful. .

They had male and female ag-
gregate winners for five age

groups, but an. overall tally of

points to determine top school
was not taken.

Here’s the top individuals:
Nine-year-olds

Michelle Genereaux (Veritas)
and Charles Parks (Thornhill).
