Congratulations to Shawn Stevens who broke a BC record in the super weight throw.

We are grateful to the B.C. Athletics officials.

The meet was followed by our annual general meeting.

With each passing year, our Club goes from strength to strength. We will chalk out our off-season practice to keep various competitions coming up during 2025 in view so that we take off from where we have left now.

Thank you to the BCA officials and volunteers who supported our event.
