(Shawn Loughlin photo) Brussels PS athletes winfirsts at Regional meet Cold, wet weather didn’t deter nine Brussels Public School students from competing in the regional track and field meet in Stratford. It turned out to be a very successful day. Two weeks earlier Laura Souch, Wyatt Ducharme, Jacob Holthysen, Kristen Pipe, Brianne Oldridge, Brody TenPas, Adam Cousins, Lauren McNichol and Trevor Nesbitt qualified for Regionals by finishing first or second at the District meet at F.E. Madill in Wingham. Souch showed great speed in the PeeWee girls 100m and 200m running races. She placed first in both events and was the District’s top PeeWee female. Ducharme was the first to cross the line in the 200m and 800m for the PeeWee boys. He also had the largest stretch in long-jump bringing home first there as well. Ducharme was later awarded District Top PeeWee male award. Holthysen was the PeeWee boy high jump success story. He jumped well to bring home a second. Pipe and Oldridge also won gold. Pipe ran in the 100m and Oldridge competed in the long jump. TenPas brought home a first in the junior boys long jump. Cousins was at District for Intermediate boys high jump and he too, won gold. McNichol was first in both the junior girls 100m and long jump. Nesbitt placed first in the Senior boys 200m running event. An honourable mention went to both the PeeWee boys and Junior girls relay teams. Hayden TenPas, Mitchell Kellington, Scott Dolmage and Ducharme ran the race of their lives and took home gold determined by a photo finish. Raven Kenny, Mackenzie McGavin, Pipe and Oldridge beat all other competitors for first place. Unfortunately neither teams were able to continue on to Regionals because these events were not offered there. The District competition had more BPS athletes than previous years. There were many third and fourth placements. At Regionals, with the weather so miserable and the tough competition of top athletes from 53 schools within Huron and Perth Counties, there was abound to be successes and disappointments. The nine from Brussels competed in 13 events and took home seven placement ribbons. The results were: Souch, first, 100m; Ducharme, first, 200m and 800m, fourth, long jump; Pipe, fourth, 100m; Cousins, second, high jump; and McNichol, fourth, 100m. Honourable mention to Brussels sister school Grey Central. Binding friendships between schools had kids from both sides encouraged and supported their friends in fun and friendly competition. A kick It was super soccer action as the Brussels U-14 girls squad put on a display of steely determination when they hosted Clinton, June 26.
