Rachel Mortimer won her second gold medal of the current cross country season Saturday at the Festival meet held at Crescent Beach Park. Mortimer had little trouble winning the 13-year old girls 3-k race crossing the finish line in 11:58, some 25 seconds in front of the second place competitor. It was the second victory of the season for Mortimer who last week came first in a race at Coquitlam’s Mundy Park.
Three male runners from the club performed well in the 12-year old division of the meet. Jack Carsience was second (12:33), Kai MacKenzie 3rd (12:59) and Parker Janzen finished 6th (13:22).
Lockhart McGregor is back running after missing last year’s track season and performed well by placing fourth in the 10-year old boys 2-k run (9:21).
