Over 200 athletes of all ages and abilities descended on the Legion Field Saturday to contest the 2015 Peace Country Classic/ GP Kids Track Meet.

In the featured 5000m race, Eric Martinek captured the win with a time of 17:30, two seconds better than Brandon Wladyko.  Mirelle Martens placed third in 17:35 and achieved the qualifying time standard for the Athletics Canada Junior National Track and Field Championships.

Cianna Forseille was “thrilled” with her 5th place “ribbon” for the Senior High Womens Discus. In her defence though, she won the Javelin and was third in the Shot Put.

The meet also served as a qualifier for the Alberta 55+ Seniors Games in July.  88 year old Dorothy Sudnik won the Women’s 80+ Javelin with a mighty toss of 5.47m.  Sudnik also place second in shot put and discus.

The Dawson Creek Track Club won the team competition; Hillcrest Christian School was second.
