JD Crests
Kajaks decided to order Crests from the BC
Athletics Association for the first time this
year, in order to recognize the hard work and
achievement of more of our JD Athletes. Some
(especially the younger ones) are not able to
achieve the standards needed for the Kajaks JD
Awards, and it was felt that this program would
encourage them to continue in the sport.
See
the JD Manual on the BC Athletics website for an
explanation of how the program works.
See 2007 JD awards
page for previous winners.
