This prestigious track and field meet is an outstanding showcase of international talent, featuring some of the world’s best competitors – a warm welcome to you all. There’s no doubt that this year’s competitions will once again thrill, inspire and motivate those who are fortunate to be in the audience. I’m pleased to know that some of B.C.’s finest track and field athletes are here today – high-performance sport is a priority in this province. Since 2001, more than $1 billion has been invested in sport to help our athletes achieve their highest potential and to assist communities and organizations in their efforts to make B.C. the destination of choice for sport events. Every year, British Columbia hosts numerous national and international sport events – such as this one – throughout the province. We recognize these opportunities reach beyond the scope of athletic competition by providing tremendous social and economic benefits back to the host community. Thank you to the Achilles International Track and Field Society, along with the many volunteers and sponsors who have played a huge role in making this event possible. This competition could not happen without the support of coaches, mentors, friends and family who consistently give their time and energy to support the athletes. Congratulations to all competitors; I wish you great success at this event. To those who have travelled from abroad, I hope you enjoy your time in beautiful British Columbia. Sincerely, Peter Fassbender Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development 5 DE GRASSE AND JEROME: ONE IN THE SAME? By Brian Pound Is Canada’s latest sprint sensation, Andre de Grasse, a clone of the late Harry Jerome? • Both came from other sports, de Grasse from basketball, Jerome football and rugby. • Both started their sprint careers in Grade 11. • Both are Pan American Games’ champions. • Both are NCAA sprint champions. • Both have the same smooth running style. • Both are winners. And both sprinted onto the world scene early on in sensational fashion, Jerome equalling the world record for 100-metres at the 1960 Canadian championships in Saskatoon, one year out of high school, and De Grasse winning both the NCAA sprint titles last year and then repeating the feat at the Toronto Pan American Games, while still a student at USC. Andre, of course, still has a bit of catching up to do to get close to Jerome’s phenomenal racing record: Seven world records.... three Olympics (1960, ‘64, ‘68).... Olym- pic bronze (1964, Tokyo).... captured the Canadian 100-metre championship an incredible seven times. With his sights set on Rio and the Summer Olympics, De Grasse, now a professional athlete training at the elite complex in Phoenix that draws ath- letes from around the world, is using tonight’s Jerome meet as a stepping stone to what he hopes will lead to a podium finish. And maybe a Jerome Track Classic record or even Canadian record. The fastest any man has raced over the Swangard track at the Jerome was Donovan Bailey, who turned the trick in 9.99 sec- onds in 1997. The Canadian record is 9.84 seconds, also set by Bailey at the 96 Olympics and equaled by Bruny Surin in 99 at a meet in Spain. Also looking ahead to Rio, Achilles International Track Soci- ety’s Doug Clement commented: ”Will Andre De Grasse bring home a medal for the Rio Olympics? The tradition set by Harry Jerome at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and Percy Williams at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics is visible today as we pass their statues in Stanley Park and BC Place. Will Andre De Grasse break fellow Canadian and 1996 Atlantic Olympic champion Donovan Bailey’s Jerome Classic meet record of 9.99 sec- onds? We will find that out tonight.” It would also be appropriate. The first winner of the 100-metres at the first Achilles meet in 1964 (Empire Stadium) was Harry Jerome. Andre De Grasse Go Andre Go! 6 THE WORLD’S FITTEST COUPLE By Gary Kingston In March, they each won gold at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Brianne in the pentathlon and Ashton in the heptathlon.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I MEN’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Arkansas claims heptathlon crown in fi nal event, 20th national championship — If Arkansas needed something to kick-start its second day at the 2013 NCAA Division I Men’s Indoor Track and Field Championships, it got it early from junior Kevin Lazas. In the fi rst event to be decided on the second and fi nal day of the competition, the heptathlon, Lazas came into the concluding 1,000-me- ter race needing to fi nish within about 4.5 points of Wisconsin junior Japheth Cato to claim the title. “I gave it all I had,” Lazas said, who ended the race by falling across the fi nish line in exhaustion. “If I didn’t win, I would be mad, but there was nothing I could have done. I didn’t have anything left.” Thankfully for the Razorbacks, Lazas fi nished just 3.24 seconds behind Cato, enough to win the heptathlon by the slightest of margins (6,175 points-6,165 in the seven-event competition) and claim 10 points for his Razorbacks in the team competition. “We had a really good night last night, and I knew I had to come out and keep it going,” Lazas said. And as the day went on, the top-ranked Razorbacks indeed kept going. When they ended the night by setting a collegiate record in the 1,600-meter relay, they were simply padding the margin of victory on their fi rst NCAA indoor title since 2006. “To get this done, you need a special group of athletes,” said Arkansas head coach Chris Bucknam, who won his fi rst national champion- ship since arriving in Fayetteville in 2009.
