Three Passtrak athletes traveled to Medicine Hat for a track meet on May 26th &27th in hopes of being selected to the Zone 1 Sunny South track team that will compete against the rest of Alberta at the 2012 Alberta Summer Games.
Bad weather prevented the possibility of any outstanding performances but the athletes persevered and all three were selected to the team.
Josh Schulz competed in the Youth Boys division. He placed 1st in the shotput with an 8.71m heave and took 2nd in the discus with a 20.13m toss. He triple jumped 10.68m for 4th place and long jumped 4.90m for 6th. He finished off the day with a win in the high jump where he cleared 1.60m. He will be representing his zone in the high jump, shotput and discus.
Madison Gostick took on all 3 throwing events in the Youth Girls category. She placed 2nd in the javelin with a distance of 9.26m. |
She then finished 1st in both the shotput and discus with performances of 6.41m and 15.82m respectively. So she will be in all 3 events at the Summer Games.
Alisi Ratudradra is currently in the Bantam Girls age group but Midget and Youth are the 2 categories that compete at the Games. So Alisi moved up to Midget in hopes of qualifying for the team. She placed 4th in the 100m, 2nd in the 200m, and 1st in both the 300m and 200m hurdles. She also won the discus and finished 3rd in both the long jump and shotput. So the gamble paid off. She will be on the team in the 200m, 300m, 200m hurdles and the discus. She will also compete for her team in 2 relay races.
This year’s version of the Alberta Summer Games will be hosted by Lethbridge from July 26th to the 29th.
