Message from Jolene:
Indoor stats have begun again! with our Dec 5 Dino Opener.
Three club Indoor records fell - two by Nicky Charlesworth (60h and HJ) and one by Sammy Babcock (HJ). Isaac Rynn also tied the 60m record so the gauntlet has been thrown down - Ryan McKay, will you respond to that…..
Report from Robin:
First, thank you to the parents who somehow managed to get all of the JD athletes to the university. I honestly expected to have to scratch several of the relay teams. I appreciate your support and willingness to get your children to the track despite the appalling road conditions.
Congratulations to all of the JD athletes - Brent B, Nicholas, Charlie, Aidan, Matthew, Brent S, Connor, Michael, Patrick, Sean, Max, Ben, Sofia B, Katie, Jasmine, Lauren G, Ellie, Maria, Jessica, Melissa, Antha, Lauren F, Chase, Emily, Delainy, Anna, Emma, Mia and Heather - who competed in the Dino Opener meet on Saturday. Considering it was the first meet of the indoor season and the first meet ever for many of the athletes, there were some impressive results.
Watch Caltaf’s Gareth Hadfield’s 9th place finish in the Steeplechase at the World Youth Championships from this last summer.

Heather and Tara had their best runs ever at nationals and also their best runs of the season with 5 Km splits faster than their previous seasons best runs…with still 2 Km to go. Abdel was very quick through the first Km but finished strong.

I would like to congratulate all of the JD athletes who competed at the Alberta Provincial Cross-Country Championships in Wetaskiwin yesterday. Everyone who competed should have received a medal just for surviving the conditions. The gale force winds and cold made running a wee bit of a challenge, but the JD athletes and their younger siblings rose to the occasion and competed very well. It was an excellent way to end the cross-country season.
Congratulations to Adrianne Erdman and Gareth Hadfield who medaled at the ASAA cross country high school provincials in Wetaskiwin, AB this weekend.
Full results here.
