Day two of the North Central Zone Track and Field Championship at Correlieu Secondary School (CSS) took place on May 16.
Contestants took some respite from the weather, as it turned out to be significantly less hot than day one, hovering around the 23-degrees-Celsius mark with a nice breeze blowing over the field.
The tournament as a whole was a success for Quesnel as a city, showcasing its ability to come together and host a big sporting event with 226 athletes representing 26 teams from across the north.
Quesnel’s schools also impressed, with Quesnel Junior School (QJS) coming in first overall for Bantam (Grade 8) Girls, first overall for Bantam Boys and first overall for Bantam Combined.
Their Junior Girls team finished second overall and Junior Boys finished third with a first overall for Junior Combined.
While Correlieu didn’t nab any firsts overall, their results are nothing to sneeze at, finishing runner up in Senior Women, Senior Men and Senior Team Combined.
Highlights of the teams’ performances are below. See the Friday, May 18 edition of the Observer for day one results, or visit Quesnelobserver.com’s local sports page.
