Camryn Rogers closed out her high school career in style as part of a big weekend for Richmiond student athletes.
The Grade 12 McMath standout swept the senior girls hammer throw and shot events for the second straight year to earn the Top Female Athlete Award at the B.C. High School Championships, held at McLeod Stadium in Langley.
The Cal-Berkley bound thrower broke her own record in Friday’s hammer event with a winning toss of 60.49 metres. The next day her opening attempt of 13.65 metres was enough to hold off Sullivan Heights’ Dolly Gabri (13.49) to capture the shot put event and cement her status as one of the top performing athletes in the rich history of the championships.
Rogers highlighted a big three-days for McMath with several outstanding performances, especially at the junior boys level where the Steveston school nearly captured overall team honours.
Rogers’ Kajaks teammate Carson Bradley captured the 200 and 400 metres event and also was a member of the silver medal winning 4x100 relay team.
McMath’s Selin Tasdemir captured the Grade 8 girls 800 metres, while Claire Bomsa earned bronze in the 400 event. The Wildcats Grade 8 girls 4x100 relay team captured silver.
Other notable achievements in senior girls included Steveston-London national team rugby player Valerie Wideski showcasing her athleticism to finish second in the discus event, while McNair sprinter Georgia Lam won silver in the 100 metres and was fourth in the 200.
In senior boys, Steveston-London’s Amisi Merveilles was third in the triple jump. Burnett’s Eric Che also won bronze in the long jump. Teammate Hiroki Sato was second and third respectively in the junior boys 200 and 100 metre events.
