NEW LIFE – The track at Watson Lake received a face-lift last week and went from a dirt mess to a smooth surface.
It’s not only by taking a look at the before and after photos where one can see the change in Watson Lake.
It’s not only by taking a look at the before and after photos where one can see the change in Watson Lake. Just ask any of the 67 participants to the first Watson Lake Secondary School Track and Field meet.
On May 16 and 17, a track and field meet was held at the ‘old track’ which had been resuscitated by the hard work of Darrell Bauman, a local landscaper.
Many phone calls and emails were placed to government officials by the track coach, Rollie Comeau in order to get the field ready for the event.
Bauman was finally given the go-ahead late on May 6. In one exhausting week, the overgrown, root-bound, run-at-your-own-risk track was brought back to life by the under-budgeted contract he received from YTG.
A packer was brought in by Randy Carlson, owner of BlueStone Holdings which gave the track its final touch. On Sunday May 15, Herman Knibbecke spent eight hours laying the lines for the track meet that would take place the following morning.
Athletes from Fort Nelson Secondary School and Johnson Elementary School joined those from Watson Lake Secondary School to compete in a variety of track and field events that were held all day Monday and Tuesday morning.
