New records made in
track & field event

THE RICH history of the
North Shore high school
track and field meet got
richer thanks to the per-
formances of Erin Bell dur-
ing the 32nd annual com-
petition at Swangard
Stadium May 14.

The Grade 12 West Vancouver
Highlander became the first com-
petitor since 1977 to make three
individual records in one day.

Bell sped to the 100m hurdles
record of 14.52 early in the morn-
ing, then minutes later she tied
one of the oldest records by leap-
ing 5.46m in the long jump on her
first attempt to equal the distance
recorded by Brenda Eisier of
Argyle in 1969. Eisler recorded
this distance five years before Bell
was born.

In the afternoon, Beil eclipsed
the triple jump mark with ease
on her first and third attempts,
establishing 2 new standard at
11.42m

West Van's Lloyd Guss set
three senior records on the 1977
meet day. Graeme Bowbrick of
Sutherland broke three bantam
marks in 1980 but two were in
events finalized during
preliminaries.

Sentinel Spartans, under head
coaches Pauline Hedberg, John
Crowley and Leslie Beckerman
won their seventh consecutive
grand aggregate team champion-
ship by an 804 to 733 margin over

SPORTS

coach Celine Kaufman’s
Handsworth Royals who got five
great senior individual and relay
races out of James Leishman as
he won his age division's individ-
ual aggregrate for the fourth
Straight year.

Leishman finished first in the
same three individual events he
won last year and that Guss won
in 1977 — the 400 metres in
51.24, the 400m hurdles in 55.30
and the 110m hurdles in 15.35.

Leishman bettered his times
from a year ago but Guss still
holds the records in the first two
at 49.13 and 53.26, while Dave
Wilkinson of Handsworth now
has the 110m hurdles mark of
14.22.

Suzanne le Nobel, who shared
the senior girls’ aggregate cham-
pionship with teammate Beil, won
the 800m and 1,500m to go with
her first in the 3,000m the week
before.

While Bell, Leishman and te
Nobel graduate this year, there are
two new bright lights appearing.
Peter Lorimer of Sutherland and
Tod Pelly of Sentinel, both in
Grade 8, set some impressive ban-
tam records and tied for the ag-
gregate title.

Lorimer cleared 1.74m in the
high jump to erase a 20-year-old
record.

Course records shattered

SUNSHINE GREETED more
than 400 participants in this year’s
annual West Vancouver 5K Run

Olympic hopeful Carey Nelson, of
