Angela Chalmers returned to race the Jerome 1,500 metres again and her winning time of 4:05.49 secured her a spot on Canada’s team to the Summer Olympics in Barcelona. In Spain, Chalmers earned a bronze medal from the Olympic 1,500-metre final. New Westminster’s Jeff Schiebler, who would go on to set national records in 10,000 and 5,000 metres, set a Canadian junior record in the Jerome men’s 3,000-metre steeplechase, finishing seventh among senior-age rivals with an 8:42.36 performance.

In the women’s 400 metres, longtime rivals Charmaine Crooks and Jillian Richardson didn’t disappoint the crowd, waging a spirited battle with Crooks winning in 51.23 seconds. Meantime, B.C. high school record holder Camille Noel finished fourth in a personal best 52.73, qualifying her for the junior world track and field championships and Canada’s Olympic relay team.
