Gabri betters BC Athletics record

Sullivan Heights Secondary student sets new shotput standard

Dolly Gabri, 13, has bettered the B.C. Athletics record for the shotput in the Midget (14-15) age group.

Emma MacCorquodale of Duncan set the mark in June of 2005 with a throw of 13.46m, a mark that Gabri has bettered in each of three recent meets.

The Sullivan Heights Secondary student had a best throw of 14.51m at the Fraser Valley Invitational High School Meet on April 25, placed first Friday at the Surrey High School Championships May 1 with a toss of 14.89m, then won the Kajacks Throws Meet on Saturday at 14.99m.
