Bradley sprints to finish at national track champs
Carson Bradley has a knack for stepping up
when it matters most. The recent Royal Canadian Legion Youth Track and Field
Championships in Brandon, Manitoba were no exception.
A talented young sprinter with the Richmond
Kajaks and entering his Grade 12 year at McMath secondary, the self-motivated
Bradley earned a bronze medal in the men’s 400 metre race at the nationals in a
time of 50.42 seconds. He then led Team BC’s 4x400 team to gold in the relay
with a winning time of 3:26.16.
Prior to summer, Bradley also finished third
in a very competitive field in the 400 metres at the provincial high school
championships.
Kajaks’ teammate Iqam Bhandal also stood out
at nationals. He finished third in the hammer throw with a best-throw of 56.47
metres.
