Our 14th Annual Provincial Championships were hosted by the Maple Ridge Modern Pentathlon Club. The 1st event of the weekend started in Vancouver with the Ride at Southlands Riding Stables. Rick Maynard and family provided the perfect setting, great course and all but two of the horses provided; tacked and ready to go. It doesn't get much better than that. The Points North Pony Club athletes Jill and Katie organized their ride in Port McNeill the day before. We had a total of 10 riders this year.

Sunday came an hour earlier than we would have liked. Despite unexpected surprises waiting for organizers at the Albion Hall, the shoot started on schedule. Who would have thought everyone wanted to shoot! We battled the clock for the rest of the day. Next year we will relegate non runners to the last line!! Athletes rose to the occasion and kept things moving as rapidly as possible. It was easy with the run. Conditions were so miserably wet that no one was on the track longer than absolutely necessary. Lunch was delicious and in the warmth of the hall a much welcome respite time to dry out.

Fencing for the uninitiated was fast paced and intense. Goodwill always prevails, however and valuable tips on technique were offered throughout the event. Who got the two hits on Toshi?

We gained some time and Katrina was able to persuade the pool folk to move us back 30 minutes. Using only three lanes made the heats very efficient. Everyone who participated had better than expected results despite being the last event of a very busy weekend. Must have been the starting blocks!!

Our awards were handed out where time permitted. BCMPA President's Volunteer Awards were presented to Rimon Gendi and Ally Stewart.Together, they have over 30 years association with Maple Ridge as parents of athletes, volunteers and in Rimon's case as a shooting coach and Ally as Treasurer for BCMPA.

Our tradition of awarding Aggregate medals to athletes competing in all five events continues. Gold medals were earned by Toshi Ihara with a staggering 5546 points and Lesley Reitel a new recruit being mentored by Tik Maynard. Finally our Junior, Katie Church, trying fencing for the first time went home with Gold in her pocket. Silver medals were awarded to Tik who was close on Toshi's heels all day earning 5380 points and Colby Stafford who also garnered over 4000 pts

Excellence Awards were earned by Tik and Toshi. Meeting Performance standards and participation in five events meant an extra $150 to them. Congratulations.

Lots of volunteers make for a great day. Thanks to Maple Ridge for their hard work and all the members from other clubs who rally on the day to lend their expertise and support. It was great to see former athletes like Kim Eagles an Olympian and Bob Noble, returning as a Master competitor. What is always the most gratifying is to see new members starting in our sport so there were smiles all around.
