Richmond front-and-centre at BC Games
The future of Canadian sport was centre stage
last weekend in the Cowichan Valley.
Emerging high performance athletes from
around the province, including Richmond, gathered for three days of competition
at the BC Summer Games—in the past a showcase for such future Olympians as
Brent Hayden and Justin Morneau.
This year, five Richmond athletes reached the
top of the podium.
Joshwa Abraham earned gold as a member of the
Vancouver-Coastal Zone 5 boys’ baseball champions, while Taryn Hill, Kaitlyn
Eng and Shae Sever were members of the winning girls’ softball team.
Individually, Victoria Wideski won the girls’ discus event and also competed in
the javelin and hammer throw events.
