The spring track and field season has seen cooler temperatures locally so far, however as the Mother's Day weekend approaches we are finally seeing some nice sunshine and warmer temperatures. Athletes - remember to honour your Mom's this weekend - many of them will be at the Dogwood Track Meet helping out as volunteers!
The club has had JD and older athletes participating in VIAA meets at Sidney (George Dean Meet), Port Alberni (Bob Dailey Meet) and coming up May 12/13 at the annual Dogwood Track and Field Meet at Uvic. You can follow this link to see available results.
High school athletes from the Throws, Youth Power/Speed and Senior Power/Speed groups have been busy with the Lower Island Spring Track and Field League and Championships and are preparing for the Island High School Championships May 16-17 at Uvic, with many hopefully qualifying on to the BC High School Track and Field Championships June 1-2 at Burnaby's Swangard Stadium.
Members of the Senior Power Speed group have also been away in California for various competitions. It's another busy year for all the groups of Pacific Athletics!
Next up for the VIAA track and field meet schedule after the Dogwood meet will be the popular annual Nanaimo (Elwood Wylie meet, May 26/27) and Duncan (Garriock, June 9/10) competitions. Hopefully some continued warmer weather will help club athletes strive for personal bests in their chosen events!
Finally, there may be a possibility of a one day, unsanctioned meet June 23rd in Port Alberni, to give Island athletes an opportunity to challenge one another as a tune-up leading into the BC Championships meets in July. Port Alberni Track and Field Club has potentially offered to host this meet (with help from other VIAA clubs); more details will be known after the Dogwwod meet, and this site will be updated accordingly. Stay tuned ! |

Pacifc Athletics Track and Field club would like to join the broad local sporting community in extending our sincerest condolences to the family and many friends of Dr. Gord Sleivert, Vice President of Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, who passed away suddenly on April 2nd, 2012.
If you use the facilities at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence (PISE), which a number of our athletes do, or have ever attended a training camp or coaching seminar there, you have benefitted from the vision and dedication to advancing high performance sport that was Dr. Sleivert's passion. |

It's time again to start selling Manure. We will be bagging and delivering our composted horse manure on Saturday March 31st. I'm attaching the information sheet on how to sell the manure and how to report your sales. I'm also attaching a page with two flyers on it to help you with your sales. For those who had sales in 2011, I will be e-mailing to you a list of clients you sold to.
Each athlete will receive $1 per bag into their athlete account (usable for memberships and meet expenses). The balance of each sale after expenses goes towards athlete competitive expenses - entries and travel costs. Every bag you sell helps to diminish your costs for training and competing for Pacific Athletics.
This will be the only fund raiser for 2012, so let's make it a successful one! This year we will also include a pick up and distribution in Sidney on April 8th.
Good luck with sales. |
