Students from Clearwater Secondary School achieved some impressive results during the Okanagan Track and Field Meet in Kelowna on Wednesday, May 15.
Grade 10 student Jules Crombie had a fantastic day. He won first in long jump with a personal best of 5.55 metres, first in 200 m with a time of 24.63 seconds, and second in 100 m with a time of 12.10 seconds
“He’s amazing,” said one parent.
“Aiden Sim placed second in javelin also pretty amazing,” the parent added.
Because Sim is in Grade 11 (Grade 11s and 12s can go on to provincials), his second earned him the honor of going on to provincials.
Sim also placed seventh in 200 m with a time of 25.70 seconds.
Callum MacLeod, Grade 10, placed fifth in 400 m with 1:02.00 seconds, and took fifth place in 800 m, at 2:26.40 seconds (a personal best).
Results for Grade 10 student Jacob Hurst were 100 m, 14.70 seconds; 200 m, 30.19 seconds, and long jump, 3.92 metres.
Grade 12 student Jessie Ludtke took fifth place in the 100 m, with 12.50 seconds, sixth place in 200 m at 25.50 seconds, and fifth place in 400 m at 56.35 seconds.
Grade 8 student Connor Dee took fifth place in javelin with a throw of 24.67 m (a personal best).
Coach Dan Coleman ran the after-school track and field club four days a week, Mondays through Thursdays. He also attended all the track meets on on the children’s behalf, both elementary and high school.
