Skeena runners swifter in

Terrace-to-Rupert relay

The opening road race of the
season has gone to the Skeena
Valley Runners’ Club of Ter-
race.

It was the March 23 annual
relay race between the Prince
Rupert and Terrace clubs, start-
ing at 7 a.m. in Terrace.

Organizer Ed Ansems of Ter-
race claimed a victory of about
15 minutes by Terrace over
Rupert. Terrace (with 14 run-
ners) crossed the finish line in
nine hours, 37 minutes. Rupert’s
time (16 runners) was nine
hours, 52 minutes.

Last year the race ran from
the coast city to Terrace, with
Rupert posting a winning time
of 10 hours, 16 minutes. It was
about 15 minutes up on Terrace
(a reverse of the margin for this
year).

“‘The lead changed hands
several times,’’ Ed told us. ‘‘By

10 o’clock, Rupert was about 10
minutes in the lead. By 12:30
Terrace was ahead by 10
minutes,’’

Ansems said that by 1:30, they
were running head-to-head ’til
Terrace got second wind and
went in front to stay.

‘The weather was great,”’ ac- |

cording to Ansems. “‘At times
we ran shirtless. Along the
Skeena we saw hundreds of

seagulls and lots of eagles. It was.
quite a sightseers day. We even.

saw some trumpeter swans
resting in a pool and some sea
lions,’’

Mixed results for
ringette girls in P.G.

Terrace Ringette wound up its
season on March 23 weekend by
travelling to Prince George for
“B’ and ‘C’ division provincial
championships.

Our Petite girls (11 and under)
played under the sponsorship of
the Order of the Royal Purple.
They played five games, but un-
fortunately lost every one.

Our Juniors fared much bet-
ter. The 14- and 15-year-olds
performed in ‘C’ division, where
they won two and lost one. They
made it to the final where they
lost 5-2 to Burns Lake.

Last year the Juniors won this
division, but had to settle for
second-place silver this year.
