THEY’RE OFF AND RUNNING! Elementary school harriers scamper over hill and dale
WINGED FEET Over 200 youngsters, ages 5 - 13, from seven area elementary schools took part in this year’s series of cross-country runs. (Above) The district’s top two runners — Grade 7 student Taylia McKeown and Grade 6 student Drew Kanigan, both from Bench — exchange a sash during the annual Ekiden Relay. (Upper left) Grade 6 student Verna Charlie from Central has a hair-raising experience on the Nicola-Canford run. (Lower left) Grade 2 student Megan Voigt from Nicola-Canford leads a pack of Coyotes up a hill on the Collettville run. (Upper right) Grade 4 student Cole Jackson from Diamond Vale sprints the finish of the Bench run on Sept. 25 at Central Park.
