The free skate event also saw some impressi Castlegar p Niminiken passed the free skate and Nicole Hackett passed at the senior bronze level. In the dance category, Vanessa passed the senior bronze 14-step routine and Van Viiet came up with another excellent with a senior silver blues routine. Hack- ett complemented her free skate with a good senior silver kilian routine. The Test Day is designed to be an event that tests an individual skater’s skills and is not a competition. The judges this year were extremely tough and came from as far away as Vancouver. The skaters who managed to pass their tests knew they were being judged by the best and were forced to rise to the occasion. “Tt was a wonderful test day,” said Isobel Kastrokoff, who is Public Relations Director for the club. “All the kids worked very hard and without the work of the coaches they wouldn't have got there.” Bev Vatkin is proud of all the kids and can see good things in the future for the Castlegar club. “The kids have improved so much over the summer, especially those who went to the skating school in Spokane,” said Vatkin. “I expect this will be a very productive year.” ‘The next big event for all the skaters will be October 21-23 when Tyail Arena for the Qualifying skate and B.C. Winter Games Skate-off. The top skaters at the meet will qualify for the B.C. Sectionals to be held in Kelowna and many more will qual- ify for the Winter Games.

Steve Musgrave of Selkirk followed in behind his teammate in seventh place. The women only had to com- plete one lap of the course or 3.5 kilometres. Marne Bourbonnais won the event with a time of 16:41. Christine Clay of Selkirk, who is also a Genelle resident, finshed fifth and Wendy Robin- son of Selkirk finished sixth. “Because of the timing, our fall team wasn't able to make the trip,” said Peregrym. “I was still pleased with the way we ran. I think Wendy and Christine should be able to move up in the standings this year.” The idea for all the runners is to tune up in exhibition meets in preparation for the BCCAA Cross- Country ionships being held October 22 in Abbottsford at Fraser Valley College. “I think we're going to be very competitive,” said Peregrym. “I'm optomistic that we'll do well against the bigger colleges.”” The next race for all the schools will take place at Selkirk College in the form of The Blahadotnia Trail Run. This is the sixth annual run but only the second year it has been sanctioned as an official BCCAA event. The run is an excellent opportuni- ty for both amateur and experienced runners to show their stuff on the rugged Blahadotnia Trail. About 75 people took part last year and Pere- grym expects more people this year. ‘The race goes all day on Satur- day October 1 and features both a 4.7 kilometre run and a tougher 10 kilometre trek.Competitors are split into four categories (Masters, Open, Grade 9-12 and Grade 8 and under) with only the Masters and Open athletes allowed to partici- pate in the 10 kilometre run. Some people might believe run- ning through bush and scrub is akin to cruel and unusual punishment but Peregrym maintains the race attracts a special type of person. “Mostly, we get people who like to compete in races,” said Pere- grym. “They are recreational run- ners who like a little competition. Basically we have people who like to run, have the desire to win and who like to get away from the hus- tle and bustle of town and onto the unpredictable trails.” “I think there is a correlation between people who have a desire to run and those who do well in In other Selkirk sports news, the golf team is well underway. They plyed their BCCAA qualifying round September 11 at the Castle- gar Golf and C: Club. Gordon McGarva led the squad with a score of 80. Wade Schultz (82), Ryan Street (83), Dave Court (85) and Dan Fell (86) were close behind. THe alter- nates were Brian Crowell and Jody Montpellier.
