Richmond Kajaks once again stood tall at the
recent B.C. Cross-Country Championships in Abbotsford.
In another stellar performance that has long
typified one of Canada’s elite track and field clubs, local athletes made their
mark at the provincial meet.
Alix Boogemans was the first finisher among
nine-year-old girls in the 1.5 kilometre event, while four senior runners were
equally impressive in their respective events. Rachel Maika won the senior
women’s eight-kilometre race; Fred Pawluk topped the mens’ 70-74 division; and
George Agnew placed second in the men’s 75-79 category.
Among the older participants at the
championships, the ever-youthful Agnew, 79, was pleased with the result.
“I like to stay fit, and still have the drive
to compete,” he said.
With her result, Maika qualified for the
nationals Nov. 25 in Kingston, Ontario.
