2007 Update
Last season was a success at many levels for all of our club members. While the focus of Track and Field at the JD level is based on a personal performance level, i.e. attaining and improving on your personal bests, there are a few standout performances from some of the high performance athletes that are well worth mentioning. The 1993 athletes have moved out of the JD program into the midget level of athletics. We congratulate them on their successes over the years and wish them well as they move onto bigger and better competition. We all look forward to seeing their excellence at practices and club meets.
All 2007 rankings and final results can be found at bcathletics.org.

Blue Level Training Update
The Blue level group started their training in January and are looking forward to getting onto the track. There are 17 participants in our second year of pre-season training and, if last year is an indication of the value in this, they all are anxious to start competing this season. The first meet they will attend is at the end of March. Eleven of this group are also eligible to compete at the BC Summer Games this summer in Kelowna, so the goals are set very high at this time.
2008 Schedule
The 2008 track and field schedule is now posted online, so ready yourselves for a fun and competitive season.
