Message from the Honourable Peter Fassbender Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development

On behalf of Premier Christy Clark and the Government of British Columbia, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our province for the 2016 Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic.

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, , a clone of the late Harry Jerome?

• Both came from other sports, de Grasse from , Jerome football and rugby. • Both started their sprint careers in Grade 11. • Both are ’ champions. • Both are NCAA sprint champions. • Both have the same smooth 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 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 , 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 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 Olympics is visible today as we pass their statues in 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 . Then in May, at the prestigious Hypo Meeting in Goetzis, Austria, Brianne set personal-bests in the 100 hurdles, 200 metres and the javelin en route to winning heptathlon gold.

They met as teenagers at the and have been inseparable ever since. They have trained together for years under the same coach, Harry Marra, and married in July, 2013. It’s a partnership that allows them to share ups and downs. And they clearly motivate each other.

A year ago, they began chronicling their journey in a more public way on their www.weareeaton.com website. Then They have been called super human, the world’s fittest couple, earlier this year, they initiated a storytelling contest on the site, the most athletic husband and wife on the planet and the #WhatsYourGold. ultimate power couple. “People tend to see our highlights, our best moments like But to them, those are just labels, ones bestowed by others when we’re winning or competing, which paint us as super trying to define them through just one aspect of their lives – humans,” Ashton said. “The truth is we struggle and fail more athletic brilliance. often than we succeed. We want people to know that setbacks are part of the process, and they don’t mean you can’t achieve Olympic champion , an Oregon native, your goals”. and his wife, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, who grew up in Hum- boldt, Sask., and who is a two-time IAAF world championship The selected winner gets a trip for two to Rio to watch the silver medalist in the pentathlon, see themselves as ordinary, Eatons go for gold. everyday people. They tend garden, cook, watch movies and worry about the environment. “The gold medals together would be huge,” Brianne told earlier this year. “But I think it is more like finishing that “We feel like pretty normal, boring people, to be honest,” Bri- story, like closing the book on that whole journey. anne said earlier this month in an interview with The Associat- ed Press. “Since 2007 when both of our careers kind of started and took off, we have trained together and we have been going through But should Ashton repeat his gold medal triumph from every day together. Two gold medals would be more like the at this summer’s Rio Olympics and Brianne capture the hep- cherry on top.” tathlon, they would be the first married couple to win individu- al gold medals for different nations at the same Olympics.

“It’s a pretty unique situation,” says Doug Clement of the Achil- les Track Society. “There’s not anything else in sport like that . . . to have two athletes, married athletes, in virtually the same event knocking at the top of the world, one Canadian, one American, it’s sort of like a dream story.”

As part of their preparation for Rio, the two are each scheduled to compete in a pair of events at tonight’s Harry Jerome Track Classic – Brianne, 27, in the 100-metre hurdles and ; Ashton, 28, in the 100 metres and the .
