Edging Esquimalt’s Neal Beat- tie by two seconds, the lanky De Pol at last saw his dream come true after three previous attempts at winning the meet. A jubilant De Pol said he was thrilled at having run so well on his favorite course, on which he won the Island high school cham- pionship, Nov. 10. However, in previous attempts he had difficulty in finding his stride at the B.C championships, he said. “My first year I was too slow at the beginning and couldn’t catch up. My second year I was too nervous at the start and didn’t run a good race and last year I was too fast at the start and tired out too early,” he said. He finished fifth, second and fourth at the event in Grades 9, 10 and 11, respectively. “After doing it so many times, I think I found the nght technique this year. I stored some energy so I could have a good pace and a good finish. “J also had confidence in my kick at the very end,” he said. Fellow Peninsula competitor Graham Schulz, 17, placed fifth, with a 23:31 time. In the girls’ 4,700-metre event, Parkland’s Sarah Thornber, 15, ran her best race of the season to place fifth, with a 17:50 time.

In overtime, it was end-to-end play that saw many shots hit the post and also saw Eagles’ goalten- der Trevor Eeg produce some great saves, Kosick said.
