B16 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 8, 2002 Elementary meet goes without track THE TERRACE Elementary School Sports Associa- lion is getting ready for its annual track and field meet. ; oy The event will be considerably different this year given that the track at Skeena school has been ripped up as construction of the new school begins. This year’s meet will be held at Caledonia Senior Secondary School Saturday, June 1. “We're having them run on the field,” said TESSA organiser Dighton Haynes. The track’s lanes will be outlined on the grass using white chalk: The one event which remains a question mark is long jump. because Caledonia does nat have sand pits for (hat event. From B7 Group wants new track the community needs iL.” The group is researching different ways lo raise money for the project, which they say will benefit Ter- race in the long run. A rubberized track surface means school related track meets could be held here. That includes secondary school events and the elementary school track meet which draws on average 300 children from Terrace and Thornhill schools each year. A rubberized surface wauld set the stage for altracling major events such as the B.C, Seniors Games and the B.C, Summer Games. Those events draw hundreds of athletes which means a boost to the lacal economy and more exposure for Terrace. ; “The payback will ‘be there once it gets done,” said Haynes, a Having a new, modern track surface will also improve the quality of the experience for people in Terrace who frequently use it, added Park. “Thal’s what we're trying to do is give ourselves a fa- cility we can be proud of,” he said. “Let's improve the quality of life here.” If that all goes according to plan and if enough money is raised, people in Terrace could be running on a smooth surface as early as next spring. Bluebacks dive into long course SWIM season THE TERRACE Bluebacks have officially begun the long course season and the swimmers are rising to the challenge. Just back from the Prince George Medical Moose ni¢et, the Blue- § backs put in strong perfor- mances for their first long course (50m pool} meet. “With provincial level meets being long course this is a great warm up,” said coach Mike Carlyle. Swimming in an Olym- pic ‘size pool takes a little getting used to for the Blueback crew which is accustomed lo 25m lengths Allison Knoedler here in Terrace. ~ But Carlyle said the swimmers performed very well. “The freestyle events were great,” Carlyle said. “Friday night, after a seven hour drive to Prince George there were 100 per cent best times.” For tired swimmers who are used to having a wail meet them at the 25m mark, that is quite an accom- plishment. , Carlyle said swimmers come off the wall al a rate of about four metres per second and that slows down to roughly lwo metres per second once in their swim. For some competitors losing that momentum off the turn takes some time to adjust. Jenine Barton, 16, one of the club’s senior swimmers, put in a good performance nabbing a club record in the 200 IM. She also made her qualifying time for youth nationals in the 50m butterfly. Allison Knoedler, 12, also broke a Blueback club re- cord dating back to 1994 in the 200m backstroke. Amy Peltier, 12, put in an excellent swim in her 200m breaststroke event making the qualifying me for junior AA provincials for the first time. Carlyle said he’s pleased wilh the progress the swim- mers are making. aye igh regains ene bb oo ee oo ee i i Cox " * ing nh D me Lene sa 0.0 + OOOO SOS OOOO Cots Oo 2 oe =: 0 ’ goat Mats heey.
