Huron Expositor, 2006-08-16, Page 13Sports The Huron Expositor • August 16, 2006 Page 13 St. Columban names award winners From Page 12 he improved a lot over the year." Steve Jordan is this year's recipient of the Mike Coyne Memorial Award for Dedication, Sportsmanship and Leadership. Bolton listed a number of reasons for choosing Jordan. "If anything both- ered him, he kept it to himself, and he played fairly and played well," Bolton explained. "The guys looked to him for the big kick and penalty shots." Bolton is happy with the season over- all. "If we'd have gotten blown out in a game, I would have been disappointed, but we were competitive," Bolton said. "Guys came out to play." Bolton isn't sure if he will be back to - coach 'next season, but sees a bright future for this team. Though there will be a few key losses, many of the players will be back, Bolton said. "I think we'll be a lot harder to beat next year," he said. Vande Borne aims for top five From Page 11 Vande Borne tells you he has been involved in motocross racing for•roughly half of his life — about seven years, he -says. Listman was the one that got him into it, though 2006 marks Vande Borne's first time racing at the Walton TransCan, a competi- tion that draws rac- ers from all over the world. He's racing in two classes this year: 125 cc and GP Junior, the latter of which is open to bikes of all sizes. To prepare, he runs eight kilometres and lifts weights for 20 minutes every day. There is con- siderable time spent on his bike as well — he attempts to get out three times a week for sessions that last two to three hours. He echoes the sentiment Listman stated in an Expositor arti- cle about a year ago: motocross racing isn't simply a matter of hopping on a bike and twisting the throttle. "It's' harder than people think," -he says. In addition to his training, Vande Borne races every weekend during the summer, travelling to tracks all over the province and as far away as Ottawa. Through motocross he has made a num- ber of friends from a number of different places. Three years from now, Vande Borne would like to race professionally, but for now his eyes are set on a top -five finish at the TransCan. Asked earlier in the interview how he likes his chances at the Walton race, Vande Borne answered concisely: "Pretty good. Hopefully I can do good." When your ques- tions are answered, you thank him for his time and walk away, watching as one of his peers runs through the course at Listman's place. You. wonder how eager Vande Borne is to have another turn, and figure the urge is very strong. Come this weekend and the Walton TransCan, he'll cer- tainly have his chance.
