Josh Hewitt (15) will also be looking for a BC berth in both the 400 and 800 meter events.

Kevin Gaiesky (16) is a good prospect to grab a BC berth with his season best 6:44.04 in the 1500 meter race Walk.  The Standard time to make the Team is 7:02. Kevin has taken the silver medal at the BC High School Meet in both 2008/09.

Shaun Cormier (17) will be competing in the Youth (16/17) 100 and 200 meters and Chris Dinsdale (Quesnel) is looking for fast times in both the 800 and 1500 runs in the Jr. Mens (18/19) events.

Alyx Treasure has already qualified for her 3rd., consecutive Legion Nationals by virtue of earlier meets and with a pardon from competing in the BC Trials as she is at a higher priority meet, namely the World Youth Event
