VANCOUVER & DISTRICT

North Shore

[ \ wi ° .

HE DIDN'T know it at the time but Handsworth’s win at the Vancouver & District track meet Thursday depended on his performance in the last

event. But Handsworth’s Chris Heron need not have

worried the junior boy won the high jump on his second jump, and the 10 points he earned pushed Handsworth ahead of rival Hillside by a meagre point.

Handsworth was declared the top aggregate champion of the meet with 680 points, with Hillside in second with 679. The two schools finished the North Shore meet last week tied with 1,050 points apiece, and the V&D result only proved how close the two track giants are.

But other North Shore schools beside the big H's dominated the meet results as well: Sentinel placed fourth overall, with Argyle sixth, Sutherland cighth and Windsor tenth. Burnaby Central, the track powerhouse on the other

side of the water, only managed a seventh place finish overall.

“The whole North Shore track program has really taken off this year,” said Len Corben, North Shore athletic co-ordinator.

Two North Shore athletes swept their events with first place finishes, capturing the individual aggregate title for their category in the process. (Athletes are only allowed to enter three events.)

Handsworth’s Dave Wilkinson set new senior boys’ records in the 100 metres hurdles and 100 m, and won the 200 metres. Hillside’s Mike Anderegg came first in the junior boys long jump, 100 m and 200 m.

More results and reaction on the meet will appear in Wednesday's News.
