High school track athletes Brendon Restall (Oak Bay High) and Katelyn Hayward (Mount Douglas) represented Canada at the World Youth Games for 16- and-17-year-olds in Lille, France, last week.
Restall managed seventh overall in the 400-metre final, running 47.34 seconds, 1.33 seconds back of the gold medal winner, Arman Hall of the U.S.
Hayward was less than two seconds shy of the final heat qualification in the 2,000m steeplechase with a time of six minutes, 47 seconds.
Both set personal bests, better than the marks they set as winners at the high school track and field provincial championships in June.
