The sun was bright, the sky was blue as Cresent Park, South Surrey, was invaded by Tigers – Yorkie Tigers that is. The Jr. X-Country Team attended their first race of the season hosted by the Oceans Athletics Track and Field Club on Saturday, October 2nd.

Not only was it the first cross-country race for the Grade 3’s, but they were the first group to take to the start line. They ran a fabulous race and were an inspiration for their fellow Yorkies. Each girl ran her best, but also encouraged their fellow teammates before and even during their race. As the girls finished their race, it was a pleasure to see them waiting to congratulate their friends. It looks like the Jr. X-Country Team is off to another great season. Congratulations girls!

Here’s a bit of late recognition for two Yorkies that participated in the 2010 BC Summer Games in Langley this past summer.

Danielle, Gr.10 (pictured right), won two gold medals and one silver in swimming, and Fiona, Grade 7, scored a bronze in soccer.

Athletes who participate in the Games are amongst the best in the province in their respective age categories and sports. It highly likely that some of these athletes will eventually participate in the Canada Games or even international events.

Congratulations girls!
