Mount Douglas secondary school athlete Katelyn Hayward was sensational for the second-straight year at the Island championships and was credited with the most outstanding female performance.
Hayward, a middle distance specialist is the nationally ranked number-one youth, having run the fastest 2,000 metre steeplechase time in 2010.
On Thursday Hayward won the 3,000 metre, 1,500m and 1,500m steeplechase, including a new Island record in the steeplechase of 5:03.38.
Adam Keenan of Lambrick Park, whose stiffest competition came from cousins and Lambrick schoolmates Mason and Matt Kereszti, was honoured with the most outstanding male performance setting an Island record in the discus of 54.51m, while winning the shot put and hammer as well.
Mason and Matt finished second and third to Keenan in the discus, respectively. In the shot put, fellow Lambrick student Uriah Schwabe (13.39m) was closest to Keenan (15.51m).
Mason Kereszti did win a title of his own, throwing the javelin 58.19m, four and a half metres further than Alberni’s Clint Haley.
Oak Bay’s Brendon Restall was named the most inspirational athlete setting a new record in the 400m with a time of 48.11 seconds.
Restall also won the 200m dash in 22.28, nearly a whole second ahead of Dover Bay’s Sean McKenzie and Lambrick’s Lucas Dellabough.
Restall was also part of the Oak Bay boys’ 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relay team wins.
