TERRACE — Over 40 doesn’t
mean over the hill or out of the
running.

Two Terrace masters runners
— Ed Ansems and Sue Simpson
— proved that by leading the
Terrace charge to the finish line
at the eighth annual Rupert
Runners Half-Marathon and
two-person relay last week.

Ansems turned in the best
overall time of just ‘under an
hour and 17 minutes in the
April 8 race, while Simpson was
the first woman across the
finish line at a time of 1:28:08,

TERRACE — Two out of six
Terrace boxers won their bouts
at the Buckskin Gloves boxing
tournament in Kamloops earlier
this month.

Leading the way was 13-year-
old Joey Losier, who knocked
out his opponent — Ryan Plant
of Cranbrook — just 17 seconds
into the fight. .

**He just flattened ‘him,’
coach Jeff Dilley said. ‘‘It was a
Scary moment for everyone.
because the officials brought in’
a stretcher to remove him.”

Dilley said the boy wasn't in-
jured, but Losier was left
shaken by the experience. He
has won all of his fights this
year by first-round TKOs or by
stunning opponents early in the
fight, but hasn't left an oppo-
nent out cold on the canvas
before.

._ Losier was fighting in Junior
‘B’ — the 13- and 14-year-old
age division -—— and Dilley said

The route ran from the Prince
Rupert civic centre to Galloway
rapids rest area and back.

Terrace runners dominated
the field in this year’s event.

Simpson and Dave Edmonds
also teamed up to place first in
the mixed relay event in a time
Of 1:26:14.

Terrace’s Chad Edmonds and
Brian Schlamp were the men’s
relay winners, finishing at
1:24:22. Gail Sheasby and
Marilyn Earl finished second at
1:44:32 in the women's relay.

it’s clear he must fight in a
higher division fram now on.

Senior novice fighter Michael
Burkette, 167 tbs. of Terrace,
missed the 165-Ib cutoff for
middleweight and was put into
light heavyweight division.
Dilley said Burkette lost.a 4-1
decision to North Kamloops’
Bruce Campbell. ‘He put in a
good performance,’’ he said.
“It was a great fight — a real
slugfest.”’

Clinton, Bell, in the 11- and
12-year age Junior ‘A’ category,
lost a 4-1 decision to Paul Shaw,
of Queensboro.

Another Junior ‘A’ boxer,
Jeremy. Hutter faced a
Kamloops boxer. Dilley said
Hutter fought three solid
rounds in an excellent’ fight
before losing by a 4-1 decision.

Terrace’s’ Todd Hawryluk,
also in Junior ‘A’, won a
unanimous decision over
Kelowna’s David Chappelle.
