Betty-Jean McHugh breaks Canadian record in Richmond run

INSPIRATION {S_ some-
thing many people need and
only a few can provide.

By Kevin Gillies
Contributing Writer

For members of the Capliano
Eagles Running Club, Betty-Jean
McHugh is their inspiration.

The part-time North Vancouver
nurse will turn 66 on Sunday,
Nov. 7 -—- a mere three weeks
after she broke the Canadian re-
cord for her age group (65 plus) at
the Richmond Flatlands 10-
kilometre. race with a time of
45:41.

BJ, as she's known to many,
also won five gold medals at the
B.C. Seniors’ Games this
September in Cranbrook — one
each in the 400m, 800m, 1500m,
10km and 4x100m relay races.

“T was worn out at the end of
that,’’ she says. “‘In three days we
had to do all that mileage. It was
a little tough.” ,

The same month she won the
Bob Cleator Memorial, an age-
rated cross-country race, for the
second consecutive year.

This spring she ran in the Big
Sur Marathon (26 miles) and set a
course record for her age group by
‘finishing the course in three hours
and 51 minutes.

The Big Sur Marathon is one of
the more difficult races because of
the course’s mountainous
landscape. -

In June 1992, McHugh set the
Canadian record for her age group
in the West Vancouver Half-
Marathon with -her time of
1:42:14,

Next year she hopes to make it”

to the World Seniors’ Games in
Buffalo, New York.

McHugh says’ that the Big Sur
Marathon was probably the
highlight of her running career,
which began when she ran her
first race at 50 years of age.

Jennifer subsequently went on to
represent Canada at the 1972
Olympics at Munich, Germany.)

. “It just makes you feel so good
physically and mentally,’’ she
says. ‘fYou have a good feeling
about yourself.’’

McHugh has never looked back
and -her time-killing ‘jaunts in the
park have since turned into a
source of inspiration’ for those

_ around her. -

Fellow Capilano Eagles club °
member Louise McCormick, 36,
says she can keep pace with
McHugh and that she is ‘‘an in-
credible athlete.” :

“Every time she does anything,
only does it well
athletically, but, she’s so inspira-
tional and athletic.’’ . ;

McHugh runs twice per week
with the Eagles and daily with her
dog and training partrier Barney. .

“He did the Terry Fox run this
year, and he was the first dog in,’’
she says. .

On top of her running, McHugh
also finds time for hiking, cycling
and playing tennis.

As she put it herself, she’s too
full of energy.

She’s not even close to running
on empty and her energy is rub-
bing off on the younger runners
around her.
