Chinook athletes on national teams
From the Lethbridge Herald AUG 01 2001
Chinook track and field club athlete Jim Steacy has been named to his
second Canadian National team of the summer while clubmate Carla
Pavan has earned her first national team honours.
Steacy placed second at this past weekend's National Junior
championships in Calgary when he threw a new Alberta junior
provincial record of 52.59 metres in hammer. Steacy had earlier
finished 11th in his qualifying group at the World Under 17
championships in Debrecen Hungary and despite being a juvenile
moved up the to junior age group to capture second place. Steacy will
represent Canada at the Junior Pan American Games to be held in
Argentina in October.
Carla Pavan made it the fifth national team appointment this summer
for the local club when she was named to the (FISU) World University
Games team in women's hammer. Pavan is one of only seven Albertans
named to the team. The competition will take place in Beijing, China
during the first week of September.
"I'm ecstatic about their assignments to the National team," says
Chinook coach Larry Steinke "They have both worked extremely hard
this year towards making those teams and have definitely earned it."
The club will also have representation at the Canada Games in
London, Ont. later in August as Mike Sagert, Brent Rybachuk, and Jody
Giesbrecht will be throwing hammer for the team. Chris Ripley will join
the team in long jump after his strong performance of 6.93 metres
which won the Tri-Province meet held last weekend.
