Sports TheReview Wednesday, November 7, 1990 — B6 Track athletes honored provincially Three Peninsula athletes were proclaimed as ranking among B.C.’s top young athletes recently. Adam Street, 14, and George White, 15, were both honored with awards for their outstanding per- formances in the Midget division of track and field competition this year. Jeannette Van Den Bulk, 13, was also honored by the B.C. Athletics Association for her domination of the Junior Development division in track and field events. B.C. Athletics Association awards ceremony organizers said Street outclassed his competitors in the 100-metre and 200-metre sprints, as well as in the 400-metre event in 1990. Street could not be reached for comment. White said his award was pre- sented for outstanding achieve- ments as a “multi-event”’ athlete, which he has happy to receive for the first time in nearly three years of competition. “Tt was a great feeling to see the training pay off and to get recog- nized for all the effort I put into track and field,” he said. He lists the 800-metre run and the long jump as his favorite events. Among his accomplishments, he placed second to Street in the Midget division of the Lower Island 1990 track and field series. He also earned a bronze medal for his efforts in the Midget level high jump competition at the 1990 B.C. Summer Games, he said. A talented octathlon (eight track and field events) competitor, White said he hopes to compete in the octathlon at the Westem Can- ada Games next year But his sights are set on the Olympics as his ultimate goal, where he would like to prove himself as a great all-round athlete in the decathlon, he said. But in the meanwhile he’s happy to continue developing his sporting skills on and off the track, he said. An avid cross-country runner, he also likes to play volleyball, rugby and soccer, he said. Having won an award for ath- letic distinction three years in a row, Van Den Bulk has proved herself to be a dedicated rising star of the track. Van Den Bulk excelled herself in middle distance events, in pen- tathlon and in the 200-metre hur- dles events, awards ceremony orga- nizers said. She had a glittering record last season, included winning her divi- sion in the Island track and field series and also clinching her divi- sion in the Island cross-country championship, they said. She also amassed six gold medals and two silver medals in the Junior Development division at the 1990 B.C. track and field championships.
