Pair of comets streak to place on Summer Games team
Seever Rondquist (left) and Brendan Hoff are BC Summer Games-bound in track and field.
Campbell River Comets Seever Rondquist and Brendan Hoff made the Zone 6 Summer Games Team with strong performances at the Garriock BC Summer Games Trials Meet in Duncan last weekend. Hoff won the 1,200 meter run and finished a strong second in the 2,000 and 800 meter run. He had personal best in all three events. Hoff has had to get in shape fast after dealing with injuries and sickness the last two weeks in May prior to the BC high school championships. But after the high schools he was able to get in some strong workouts. Rondquist and Hoff
have five weeks to prepare for the Summer Games to beat the best runners in BC who are one year older then Hoff. Hoff has so far managed to get in the top ten of all time in B.C. for the 2,000 and 1,200 meter running events. Rondquist won his javelin throw, shot put and came from behind in the discus to take the lead with a great throw and personal best, but the last thrower managed to put together a great throw also, and narrowed out Seever’s sweep of all three throwing events by .4 of a meter. It was a great weekend for Rondquist. He still has lots of training to do to improve with all three events. Rondquist
