Johnston, ‘zone and provincial Junior Olym- | pic Training Plan meets, took it, ; all in stride last season by de-. feating the province’s best in ‘juvenile women’s 100 and 60- ~yard sprints. “Gail has settled down to hard ' work,” said Masich, “and it looks |like a repeat performance of | last year. , Her top times on the local! | track last year without spikes (would have ranked her high in ‘the British Empire Games at | Perth. ” : This year, Johnston has been ‘mnoeved up to Amateur Athletic Union competition which will af- ford her a crack at Canada’s best. “GET COMPETITION “We will make every attempt to get Gail the finest competition | training hard for the past three: ing sessions and looks like cham- competing in local.’ wo this year, win or lose,” said Ma- sich. i The local track club is losing a top sprinter in the Junior men’s section as Jack McCorkindale letes out of winter mothballs to heads for a new home in Van- couver.
