Mortimer Leads Way at Festival Meet

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).
