TRACK and field programs are off to
a.running start in North Vancouver.

_ There are many different events for students

to choose from. They are long jump, sprints and
relays, high jump, shot put and long distance
running.
We asked coaches and some participating
students at Montroyal about our track and field
program. Mr. Rader, a teacher who has been
coaching track and field for twenty years, said
that “long distance is very painful and hard to
do. You have to work hard and it is very diffi-
cult, but it is a fulfilling challenge!”

Alex Sheppard, a student who has been
doing sprints and relays for two years, said that
“The program at Monrroyal is OK, but there
should be more practices at more convenient
times.”

Mr. Squire, the principal at Montroyal, and
also’a shot put coach, said, “It’s really fun, any-
one can do it!” ;

Pierson Hayes, a high jump participant said,
“It is very fun and organized.” We talked to
many more. staff and students and they all
agreed that the Montroyal track and field pro-
gram is a worthwhile experience.

After several fun meets and one qualifying
meet at Handsworth secondary school in May,
the qualifying athletes can compete at the North

Vancouver District Championships on Tuesday,
June 6 at Swangard Stadium.

Record breaking strings

MEMBERS of Montroyai elementary school’s strings program participated in an
attempt on Monday to break the world record for the largest playing orchestra.
About 10,G0S musicians were expected to gather in BC Place on Monday to play
O’ Canada, Fanfare of the Millennium and an arrangement of Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony, which would shatter the previous record of 3,503 musicians playing
together in England. ; ;
