Junior rowers compete

with the world’s best

If Sidney rower Adam Parfitt
thought he had a tough training
regimen, he got an eye-opener at
the World Junior championships
last weekend in Spain.

Parfitt, 17, competed for the
junior national squad in the sin-
gles competition at the Olympic
course near Barcelona, where he
placed ninth out of 14 rowers.

As well, Gavin McKay, a 16-
year-old entering Grade 11 at
Stelly’s School, was the coxswain
on the seventh-place men’s fours
with cox boat at the Worlds.

These were remarkable perform-
ances against the world’s best
juniors, but they also showed Par-
fitt where he fits on the interna-
tional stage.

“Tt was a good learning experi-
ence and it helps me set goals to
follow for years and years after-
wards,” said Parfitt, who is enter-
ing Grade 12 at Parkland School.

“Tt shows me where I am in the

world and how much more it will
take.”
He said he was up against ath-
letes who train three times a day
and have the full support of the
state behind them.

“Tt was incredible to see the
level of some of the athletes
there,” he reflected. “There is so
much further to go.”

Parfitt was third in his first heat
last Wednesday, earning a berth in
the semi-finals. Friday, he placed
fourth in a tace where the top three
moved on to the final.

A third-place showing in Satur-
day’s B final earned him ninth
overall.

“T had the technique. I just
didn’t have the strength. I just
wasn’t strong enough to compete
with the Germans and Russians,”
he said.

McKay’s crew rebounded too
late from a case of jet lag. The
crew failed to qualify for the final
after two weak races.

However, McKay said they cap-
tured the B championship in a
time that would have put them in
fourth in the A side.

McKay clued in quickly to the
caliber of the other teams.

“Going there we thought we
were a pretty big four,” he said.
That was before he saw strapping
competitors towering head and
shoulders above the Canadians.

Pasquale dribbles for fun

Canada’s top roundballer was in
Brentwood Bay last week bringing
basketball to the grassroots.

To kids, that is.

Eli Pasquale, the veteran guard
of Canada’s national squad, con-
ducted a camp for those just
Starting out in the sport.

It’s a long way from the dark,
cozy confines of the Brentwood

Bay Community Centre to the

bright, bustling arenas on the
international stage, but Pasquale
recognizes you have to start some-
where.

“I’m bringing (basketball) to
the people,” said Pasquale.

Future national team players are
taught the fundamentals at camps
like this.

“The biggest thing is I want
them to learn basketball and have
fun doing it.”

Pasquale, a point guard, is a
two-time Olympian of the Canadi-
an teams which placed fourth in
Los Angeles in 1984 and sixth in
Seoulin 1988. > :

He played pro ball in Europe
after narrowly missing out on
spots with National Basketball
Association teams.

The former UVic star has been
thinking about life after roundball.
One business venture is the Eli
Pasquale Island Sports Camp.

He holds 15 week-long camps
throughout Vancouver Island,
from Victoria to Campbell River.

Enrolment costs $70 for five
days of workouts, T-shirts, prizes
and fun.

National team commitments
kept him away from the Bren-
twood Bay camp for much of last
week.

He returned to Victoria from
Puerto Rico early in the week,
attended the camp Tuesday and
Wednesday, and was off to Los
Angeles Thursday with the
national team to compete in a
summer pro league. The pro
league has attracted a number of

-NBA pros, and gives Canada’s

team-a chance to stay sharp, said
Pasquale.
