The event was hosted by Kamloops Track & Field Club at the Thompsons Rivers University from Feb. 24-26.Ukon Tom, as the Prince George Track & Field Club call him, is in the M75 category that sees men between 75 and 79 years old compete.

Christine Dalgleish, 59, took gold in W55 in weight throw with a throw of 9.83m, which was good enough to break my last year’s BC record of 8.77m and gold in shot put with my personal best ever throw of 8.55m.
