James Linde of the Coquitlam Cheetahs ran a tremendous final 30 metres to pass Jerome Blake of the Okanagan Track Club and recorded a sizzling time of 20.80. Linde was 10th at last week's national championship meet and is edging closer to the Olympic standard of 20.50.
Cheetahs were led on day two by PanAm Games teammates Nathan George and Raquel Tjernagel who each won gold at the 2015 Provincial Championships in Nanaimo.
On the opening day of the 2015 Provincial Track and Field Championships, Josh Kozelj ran to his first provincial title with a late surge in the 2000m steeplechase. Kozelj ran a personal best by over seven seconds to win with a time of 6:16.
Nathan George ran an inspired race at the Canadian Championships to narrowly miss his first Senior National Medal. George finished 4th in a time of 47.17 in extremely windy conditions. Earlier in the day, George finished 9th overall in the 200m. James Linde finished 10th overall in the 200m but was the victim of terrible wind conditions. His wind was a negative 5.9 metres/second which was more than 3 metres/second worse then the other two semi-finals. He would have certainly qualified for the final if he had equivalent wind conditions. Raquel Tjernagel ran her second best time of the season to finish an excellent 6th place in the 400m in her first Senior Nationals competition. Tjernagel also qualified for the 200m final on Sunday with the 4th fastest qualifier.
Both Nathan George and Raquel Tjernagel did as expected and qualified for Saturday's 400m finals. George enters the final as the fourth fastest qualifier and Tjernagel enters the final with the fifth fastest qualifier. George and Tjernagel will also be competing in the 200m semi-finals on Saturday along with James Linde. Linde who was the second youngest competitor in the 100m finished sixth in his semi-final and 18th overall.
