There were 12 Kajaks athletes taking part, 3 Juvenile athletes in Grade 11
(Jon Kruzeniski, Andrew Lee and August Griffen) and 9 JD athletes in Grades 9
and 10.
Jon Kruzeniski did extremely well, just missing the medals in 4th place in
the boys race! He was one of the pre-race favourites, coming off a fine 2nd
place finish the previous weekend at the BC Athletics Cross Country Championships.
There were 2 other Kajaks runners
finishing in the top 25: Brittany Imlach (17th) and August Griffen (22nd). The
third Juvenile athlete, Andrew Lee, finished in strongly in 44th place.
Among the JDs, Brittany Imlach (17th) was very impressive, and Jordan Mara
(32nd) had a very strong race. Daniel Scowcroft and Paul Hegele both raced very
well, finishing in 48th and 58th place respectively. Linda Stutz finished her
