Senior Jonathan Radcliffe’s season was abbreviated due to injury but he made the best of a comeback and nearly qualified for States in the 200m, running a PR (21.90). He graduates as the fastest BC 200m sprinter since 1999! @BCSDAthletics

Ben Cable completed his HS throwing career at State Quals with this PR toss of 47-6.5 in shot put, improving on his no. 2 BC All-Time mark. He graduates as the best BC shot putter since 1971! @BCSDAthletics
