June's Male Athlete of the Month: Matthew Uliana! .
.
.
.
13 year old Matthew Uliana, coached by Don Allemeersch, is a prime example of how hard work and consistent dedication to the sport pay off. Uliana is improving rapidly in the hammer, shot put and discus events. Coach Don credits his recent personal bests to "Matthew's commitment to showing up at every practice; his amazing work ethic, and the additional training sessions he puts in on his own, working on strength & conditioning as well as athletic performance." Most recently, Uliana threw at the Ocean Twilight Series on June 27th, where he earned a HUGE lifetime best in the hammer throw of 41.69m, as well as a PB in the shot put, 12.83m. To put things in perspective, Uliana's recent shot-put PB is nearly a full meter further than his prior PB (11.99m) at the BC Junior Olympics Meet, in Bear Creek Park, BC, on May 21st. Additionally, Uliana currently holds St. George's School records for shot put and discus (39.93m). Congratulations Matthew, and keep up the great work! #gothunderbirdsgo #bcathletics #hammer #discus #shotput

June's Female Athlete of the Month: Ella Symon! .
.
.
During her first showing at the BC High School Track and Field Championships, Symon placed first in the preliminary rounds of the grade 8 girls 800m, running a new personal best time of 2:25.71. Just seven hours later, Symon came back to earn a silver medal in the finals, running another lifetime best of 2:23.17 and scoring a number of points for her school (Lord Byng). This silver medal and two personal bests in one day came after running 4:55.18 in the 1500m (4th) just one night prior! Congratulations Ella and Coach Stan Jang on a very successful BC High School Championships, and for earning Athlete of the Month honours! #gothunderbirdsgo #bcathletics

We're ready! Thunderbirds Track and Field Summer Camps begin today! Looking forward to meeting all the new campers. #gothunderbirdsgo #trackandfield #bcathletics #juniordevelopment #summercamp #javelin #relays #shotput #longjump #discus #sprints #endurance #physicalliteracy
