Track and field
program offered
BY JASON AINSLIE
If •the heat of summer has left you
feeling somewhat lethargic and your.
lethargy hasleft you feeling rather large,
a new Goderich sports club maybe just
what you're seeking -to get back in shape.
A track and field program will be of-
fered, free of charge, to anyone over age
12 who feels the want of a work-out or is
looking for something to do for three
nights a week. • .
- The program will be set 'up by Joni
Thompson of Goderich, a Physical
Education student at Western university
who has Level Two (teaching and theory)
certification in track and field activity,
Joni Thompson said her program will
introduce basic methods of detecting and
correcting performance errors, and will
help develop confidence in her students.
Areas covered by the program will
include hurtles, sprinting, jumps (high,
long and triple), throws (javelin, shot put
and discus) as well as a pentathalon.
Joni said the course is for everyone.
but athetically-inclined students in
grades seven or eight or in high school
would find the program useful for
identifying and i'inproving upon their
weaknesses.
Meetings of the new track club will be
held at the new jogging track area south
of GDCI. Joni will be the instructor and
will recruit help if interest runs high.
For now, Joni and the Goderich
Recreation Board are 'eager to see the
amount of interest town and rural
residents have in a sports club of this
