Hunt breaks eight records
BY DAVID SCOTT
Expositor Editor
Not only did speed skater
Kathy Hunt of Ethel defend
her North American title in
Red Deer recently, she broke
eight records in the process.
The 42 -year-old motherof
four set both Canadian and
North American records for
her age category in the 500,
777, 1000 and 1500 metre
races. She previously held
Canadian and North
American records in both the
1000 and 1500 metre races.
As well, Hunt still holds
three of the four records in
the 30-39 age category.
She captured three bronze
medals competing as a Senior
A (age 40-49) in the
Canadian Speed Skating
Championships for third
overall. At the North
American competition, in the
Masters category (age 35-
50), Hunt won for all her dis-
tances. "1 won the overall
championship and broke all
the records."
Kathy's daughter Carla
skated well at the Canadian
competition but was sick for
the North American's..
"She didn't end up placing
but she's ina very competi-
tive category. There were 26
girls. That category is so fast,
they're skating faster than thc
old age group ahead of them.
There was one race where six
girls skated under the
Canadian record. it's a hot
group."
Carla, 13, skated all per-
sonal hest times for the
Canadian races. it was her
first time racing as a `first
year' in a two-year category.
-"Next year, she'll be pretty
strong," says her mother.
